Lawyers in the Tokyo office regularly represent Japanese, U.S., and other non-Japanese clients in complex cross-border transactions and disputes. Areas of particular focus in Tokyo include mergers and acquisitions, private equity, corporate finance, and intellectual property matters. In addition, as Morgan Lewis's 1,300 lawyers and 22 offices work closely together as a single integrated firm, all of our clients also have access to a team of lawyers who can provide advice in virtually every area of practice worldwide.

Clients choose the Tokyo office for the useful, cost-effective, and efficient manner in which we respond to their wide-ranging legal needs. Following this approach, we serve as primary international counsel for a number of leading Japanese companies and as primary counsel in Japan for a number of the firm's U.S. clients. We work hard to understand the needs of all of our clients, and we have the depth and breadth of resources to advise them on issues unique to their industries and the locations where they are doing business.
