Judy Tanaka practices primarily in the areas of commercial, real estate and construction litigation, representing residential and commercial developers, contractors and title insurance carriers. She also handles business transactions such as entity formation, commercial leasing and contracts, as well as related business matters. Handling both litigation and transactional needs makes sense to Tanaka. "Lawyers can offer preventive, proactive advice to potentially avoid litigation to begin with." Her clients range from mom-and-pop business owners to national corporations doing business in Hawai`I, but they all have something in common. "Even with a big corporation, you're still dealing with a person."
