Our Tokyo office opened in 2000, and is consistently recognised as one of the leading law firms in Japan.  

We advise Japan's largest and most high profile companies and international corporations on inbound and outbound cross-border transactions, energy projects and dispute resolution.

As our work focuses on multi-jurisdictional matters for Japanese and multinational corporations, we work in close collaboration with our international network, and can quickly assemble and manage cross-border expertise to meet your needs.

We have one of the largest and most experienced teams of registered foreign lawyers in Tokyo. Half of our lawyers based in Tokyo are fluent in Japanese, with particular expertise in energy, infrastructure and mining, construction and engineering, and technology, media and telecommunications.
