International & Cross-Border Capabilities (International Firms) - Japan
What the Team is Known For
Morrison Foerster's Tokyo office is a dominant force in the market and offers notable US-Japan law capacity. The combination of US-qualified attorneys and Japanese-qualified bengoshi ensures a comprehensive service out of the Tokyo office. The team in Japan collaborates with other offices across Asia and Europe and has especially close ties to its US centre, giving it an edge for complex cross-border deals.
Morrison Foerster has an impressive following among major multinational domestic and international corporations and financial institutions, working on transactions and joint ventures in the automotive, pharmaceutical and TMT sectors. The team is also highly regarded for its disputes practice, in which cross-border cases are routinely led out of the Japan office. The law firm works on commercial litigation, patent litigation, investigations, trade secret misappropriation and international arbitrations, making it among the broadest disputes offerings in Japan.
