About

Provided by Mori Hamada

The dispute resolution practice of Mori Hamada, like many firms, is a product of long-standing efforts. Mori Sogo, a predecessor firm, was the largest dispute resolution firm in Japan before Mori Hamada was born through merger in 2002. Since then, we have further grown our practice and established our position as a leading dispute resolution firm both for cross-border and domestic matters.

We handle a broad range of high-profile Japanese and cross-border disputes, including litigation, arbitration and other ADRs. As a full-service firm, our dispute resolution practitioners benefit from expertise in a variety of related areas essential to being successful in a wide range of commercial dispute matters.
