International & Cross-Border Capabilities (International Firms) - Japan
What the Team is Known For
Global law firm DLA Piper is frequently praised for its geographic reach, and its Tokyo office offers strong cross-border capabilities. Clients value the wide global network and cite it as a key attraction when facing multi-jurisdictional transactional challenges. The team handles both inbound and outbound work for its client base, which consists of Japanese multinationals and international companies.
The Tokyo team is particularly well regarded for its tax practice, which regularly advises on matters that involve cross-border considerations, particularly with the USA and Canada. The firm also assists on major international corporate transactions, including a range of joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, notably in the pharmaceutical, technology, finance and hospitality sectors.
