Six practice areas.
One mission.
Every engagement is bespoke. We work at the intersection of law, culture, and business — in two of the world's most distinct markets.
All services →Where expertise meets
cultural intelligence.
Generalist firms can't bridge two of the world's most distinct business cultures. We've spent over a decade building the expertise, relationships, and systems that make Japan-India collaboration not just possible — but powerful.

What our
clients say.
Maalabay has provided outstanding HR consulting and advisory services to our organisation. Their deep understanding of both Japanese corporate culture and Indian employment law has made them an invaluable partner for our India operations.
The intercultural training programs delivered by Maalabay made a real difference in how our Indian and Japanese teams work together. The JIC methodology is structured, practical, and produces results you can see in the workplace.
Maalabay supported us through a very tough restructuring process that entailed complex legal steps and sensitive Employee Relations management. We will continue to work with them for all our sensitive business needs.
Working with Japan Intercultural Consulting has been such a positive experience. JIC instructors have always been professional, knowledgeable, and seem to enjoy what they do.
