Herbert Smith Tokyo is based in stunning modern offices in the heart of the principal business and government district of Tokyo, close to the Imperial Palace. The surrounding area contains a number of bars, restaurants and coffee shops and the nearby areas of Ginza and Roppongi provide access to Tokyo's world-renowned department stores and entertainment areas.
Herbert Smith is consistently recognised as being one of the leading law firms in Japan and has more registered foreign lawyers in Tokyo than any other UK law firm.
The team consists of seven partners and over forty fee-earners. We advise a significant client base of international corporations doing business and investing in Japan as well as Japanese clients with regional and international transactions and disputes.
Our principal areas of practice are:
- dispute resolution
- projects and energy
- M&A
We are regularly ranked in the top-tier for each of these areas and have particular experience within them across the telecoms, media, insurance, financial services, technology, publishing and heavy industry sectors.
Our work centres on large multi-jurisdictional matters for major multinational corporations. We service these by working closely with our international offices and, in particular, with our Asian network.
