About

​​My name is Steve Shinoi, and I am an attorney licensed in California and U.S. federal courts. I am based in Long Beach, California, and handle both domestic and international legal matters.

In addition to the United States, I have lived and worked in the Asia-Pacific region for over 30 years, including Japan, Hong Kong, China, and Thailand. I have broad and extensive experience in contracts, sales negotiations, business structuring, business disputes, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), intellectual property protection and licensing, real estate matters, including hotel and commercial building development, management and finance matters, commercial civil litigation, family law matters and U.S. immigrant and non-immigrant visa applications.

I have worked at the corporate level in a variety of business sectors, including software, IT hardware, data services and storage, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, automotive, real estate, construction defects, products liability, antitrust, and others.

I have consulted for individuals as well as many large and medium-sized companies and law firms in the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, China, Australia, Singapore, and Thailand on contracts and commercial transactions involving businesses in the United States, Japan and throughout the Pacific Rim.
