Corporate/M&A

We offer the full suite of legal services with truly global coverage. Thanks to our more than 800 world-class lawyers, the diversity and depth of our expertise and experience is difficult to match. We continue to expand our international presence and clientele, and currently have four domestic Japanese and 14 overseas offices. We are one of the most established firms in Japan, and have been meeting our clients’ needs, and exceeding their expectations, since 1966. We are also the sole Japan member of the elite Lex Mundi international law firm network.

We first opened a Bangkok office in 2013, under the name Nishimura & Asahi (Thailand) Co., Ltd. In 2019, we drastically expanded our capacity in Thailand through an alliance with one of Thailand’s leading firms, SCL Group, creating SCL Nishimura, one of Thailand’s largest law firms and one of the largest and most diverse international business law practices in Southeast Asia. SCL Nishimura is comprised of more than 100 lawyers and professional staff, and provides 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, upon completion of the amalgamation of SCL Nishimura Group and our existing Bangkok office, the office is known as SCL Nishimura & Asahi Ltd.
