Our practice areas

Ours is a truly global practice, with a collaborative, integrated team of US, European and Japanese lawyers and business services professionals. We turn diverse voices into a driving force – creating change for our clients and reimagining what’s possible. 

Japanese and international clients across many sectors trust our advice. Financial services, energy and natural resources, consumer products, infrastructure, telecoms and media, life sciences chemicals, automotive and industrial – wherever they operate, we help guide their thinking and define what is next.  

In Japan, we do this through three core practices

Our lawyers are involved in some of the world’s most complex but rewarding mandates. They advise clients on all types of competition, regulatory and trade law issues, many of which are cross-border or global. Our team consists of lawyers qualified in both Japan and abroad, giving expertise across the spectrum.  

“Together we’re shaping a better, more sustainable future – for our clients, our people and the communities where we live and work”
— Georgia Dawson, senior partner
