Tokyo

Squire Sanders has a long history and tradition in Asia. We first operated in Tokyo in 1955 as an office of Graham & James, which was one of the first US law firms to establish an office in Japan. Since then, we have counseled major corporations in Japan on a number of well-known offshore matters.

Our Tokyo lawyers focus on large corporate and financing transactions, serving a diverse client base that includes major telecommunications companies, trading companies, manufacturers, banks and other financial institutions, as well as industry-leading software and media companies. Our office has substantial experience in energy and infrastructure projects, dispute resolution, intellectual property, e-commerce, information technology, venture capital, antitrust, securities litigation, project finance, and mergers and acquisitions.

Our Tokyo office is staffed by lawyers admitted in Japan, United States and France. Their work experience in Asia, Europe and North America, as well as transactional experience in every region of the world, enables them to perform capably sophisticated cross-border work. 

To keep pace with the rapid and extensive changes effected by globalization in the legal environment, we take a practical approach to legal issues and adopt a global perspective. Our well-qualified lawyers will provide practical, flexible and organic solutions for all of your corporate legal challenges in Japan and throughout the world.
