Firm Overview:

The firm first opened a Bangkok office in 2013, under the name Nishimura & Asahi (Thailand) Co., Ltd. In 2019, it drastically expanded its capacity in Thailand through an alliance with one of Thailand’s leading firms, SCL Group. This has created SCL Nishimura, one of Thailand’s largest law firms, as well as one of the largest, well-resourced and most diverse international business law practices in Southeast Asia. SCL Nishimura comprises over 100 lawyers and professional staff providing top-quality legal and business advisory services. Following the alliance, SCL Nishimura has a significantly larger support structure, thereby establishing a stronger presence in the Thai legal market while also meeting the growing and varied demands for legal services throughout Southeast Asia.

As of April 5, 2021, with the completion of the amalgamation of SCL Nishimura Group and our existing Bangkok office, the office is now known as SCL Nishimura & Asahi Ltd.

The firm’s most senior lawyers have career histories that exceed 40 years in providing services to a diverse clientele base. The firm is professional and pragmatic, analytical and creative, rigorous and open to new ideas. SCL Nishimura believe that, by combining its wealth of experience with strong teamwork, it can serve its clients both efficiently and professionally. The firm consciously and rigorously observes a high standard of professionalism, integrity and ethics.

Cutting-Edge Business Issues:

The firm works with prominent domestic and Japanese as well as global corporations, to find novel solutions for their most innovative changes and disruptive challenges.

Commitment To Excellence:

Through the enhancement of professional and organisational synergies — a result of the firm’s expansion — an unprecedented level of client service is made possible in highly specialised and complex areas of commercial law.
