Creative Solutions for a Borderless World

Given the rapid pace of change in this globalized world, our clients are regularly faced with unique problems involving cross-border complexities that require effective and sometimes urgent legal resolution. We welcome these challenges and can mobilize experienced project teams of both Japanese and foreign lawyers to help clients navigate the intricacies of modern laws with innovative and effective solutions to help them survive and thrive in a constantly changing world economic environment.

Thinking and Acting Globally

Atsumi & Sakai is a multi-lingual and multi-cultural firm which values close co-operation and collaboration among its Japanese bengoshi and foreign lawyers. We have foreign partners with significant international experience, supported by a team of other foreign attorneys. With additional support from bilingual paralegals and other staff, these experienced foreign partners and attorneys enable the firm to provide sophisticated drafting, research and advice to both foreign and Japanese clients and give us a strong platform for working successfully on international transactions.

Business Insight, and Social Responsibility

The law does not exist in a vacuum. To provide high quality legal services for our clients means not only keeping abreast of the constant changes in the law but also requires a thorough understanding of our clients business environment. This is a need we take seriously. We encourage our attorneys, paralegals and staff to expand both their legal and business knowledge and skills, and strongly believe that by doing so we are able to provide the best possible innovative legal and practical solutions for our clients. Our attorneys also regularly provide pro-bono legal services, lecture at universities, host seminars and offer comments on pending legislation to provide the benefits of our knowledge to society. We encourage a collegiate working environment and have been recognized as the leading law firm employer in Japan.
