Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu‘s antitrust department is lauded by clients for its ‘top notch’ work and ‘unrivalled quality’, as well as its ‘impressive ability’ when assisting its Japanese clients with all manner of competition and antitrust cases. Practice head Yoshitoshi Imoto in particular is described as ‘fantastic’ when advising on government antitrust investigations, and also brings expertise in high-profile mergers and general compliance matters. Kaoru Hattori, described as a ‘leading light’, is a name to note for complex cartel cases and issues relating to contractual alliances and transactions, while the ‘very strong’ Ryohei Tanaka is recommended for his knowledge of merger filing requirements and antitrust issues relating to M&A. Yusuke Kaeriyama and Nobuaki Ito are also key contacts within the team.
