Allen & Overy was one of the first international firms to set up an office in Tokyo in 1988. Since then, we have earned a reputation for providing innovative high quality advice, and for steering complex transactions to a successful conclusion. With both international and Japanese law capability, we are often the first port of call for domestic and foreign companies seeking assistance on their inbound and outbound transactions. Our long history in this market has provided us with a solid understanding of the cultural and other non-legal aspects of doing business in Japan. This, combined with our extensive network of offices worldwide, has proven to be an attractive proposition for clients, particularly those in the financial services, energy and infrastructure, pharmaceutical and aviation sectors, amongst others.
