Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu (“NO&T”) is pleased to announce that, effective January 1, 2024, we have appointed Soichiro Fujiwara as the new Managing Partner of our firm, succeeding the exceptional tenures of Fumihide Sugimoto and Hiroki Inoue, who will serve as Co-Chairs and will assist in managing the firm’s operations.

＜Greetings from Soichiro Fujiwara＞

In an era where the rapid evolution of technologies, such as generative AI, is reshaping the landscape, and where emerging concerns over environmental and human rights are gaining unprecedented momentum, the unstable global situation is fraught with economic security risks. As a result, the business environment in which our clients operate also continues to change rapidly and significantly.

Our firm, cognizant of these multifaceted changes, is poised to proactively address them under a new management team. As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our Singapore office, we are collaborating with our New York, Singapore, and other overseas offices to maintain and enhance a cohesive network that is deeply committed to supporting both corporate and societal initiatives, which aligns with our goal of becoming our clients’ most trusted partner. In line with this, we remain committed to providing the highest quality legal services.

We look forward to your continued support.
