Legal market overview

Within Legal market overview,

With regard to local firms, ‘The Big Four’ - Anderson Mori & Tomotsune, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto, Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu and Nishimura & Asahi continue to dominate the market, but there can be no room for complacency, particularly this year as firms clamour to strengthen their practices. In a major coup, ambitious local firm Atsumi & Sakai hired an eight-lawyer team from local rival TMI Associates in October 2010. In particular, the arrival of structured finance specialist Yutaka Sakai was significant enough to warrant a new addition to the firm’s masthead, which saw the firm change it’s name from Atsumi & Partners. Then in early 2011 Davis & Takahashi, the only full service Canadian law firm in Japan, hired a seven strong team from Atsumi & Sakai.
