Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The firm is highly efficient in its delivery of legal analysis and products, and considers the client's needs and business background. The firm understands the business background and the client's situation properly and offers constructive solutions.’
'They are always helpful to give us directions to proceed. The team is the first option for us to consult with. In addition, they are kind enough to make us aware of key topics of the industry even where there are no cases being handled by them at that moment. The professional awareness towards our daily concern is really helpful.'
'The standout partner I would like to recommend is Katsumi Shirai. He is the best person who understands what our concern is. He can handle most of our questions by himself, but if he thinks it’s appropriate, he is willing to introduce other colleagues to further discuss and look into higher level of solutions.'
