Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
'During our first acquisition in Japan, we were heavily dependent on having a sturdy law firm next to us. City-Yuwa was such a firm. The partner in charge was of high calibre. The team was responsive in spite of time differences between Japan and Europe.’
‘This firm accurately understands our company's requirements in the preparation and review of English contracts, ensuring that important points are not overlooked while also understanding and balancing the perspective of the other party. We benefit greatly from their expertise in Japanese communication laws, such as the Radio Act and the Telecommunications Business Act, as well as their proposals regarding product terms of use and privacy policies.’
'We consulted the team for matters related to English contracts, general corporate issues, the Radio Act, the Telecommunications Business Act, and other related fields. The lawyers provided very quick and reasonable responses and clearly indicated the ground for their answers regarding detailed provisions, which greatly assisted us in making decisions.'
