We also advise many of our clients in Asia on sensitive U.S. regulatory and litigation matters, drawing seamlessly on the expertise of our world-renowned Litigation Department.

China Practice: Paul, Weiss has one of the most dynamic China practices among international law firms, consistently earning us top-tier recognition in publications including Chambers & Partners. We first established our presence in Beijing in 1981 and thus have the longest continuous presence of any foreign law firm in mainland China. In 1983, we opened an office in Hong Kong and established a Hong Kong limited liability partnership.

Japan Practice: With more than 30 years of experience on the ground in Tokyo, we are a leader among U.S. law firms representing Japanese corporations and other Japanese institutions in cross-border transactions and representing U.S. and other non-Japanese clients in connection with their activities in Japan. Our bilingual, bicultural Tokyo-based team is widely recognized for the excellence of its cross-border M&A practice in Japan and its work advising Japanese companies issuing securities in the U.S. and other global markets. We also have deep expertise in investment fund formations and cross-border restructurings.
