Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu is praised for its ‘wealth of knowledge of real estate in Vietnam’ and specialises in working for foreign bodies, predominantly from Japan but also Australia, Singapore and the Philippines, regarding real estate and construction project acquisitions and investments in the Vietnamese market. Recently the group has engaged with industrial plots, hotel and resorts, as well as warehouse development projects. Motohisa Nakagawa spearheads the team alongside Keigo Sawayama, with the former chiefly recognised for his leasing and joint venture work, and the latter for his investment and divestment expertise.
