Nishimura & Asahi, Japan’s largest law firm and a member of the country’s “Big Four”, is undergoing a significant shift toward international localization. This strategic move is born out of their desire to expand their U.S. and European client base and secure prime roles in cross-border deals.
As a testament to their intention to compete in the global market, Nishimura has adopted a foreign law joint enterprise structure. This change within the organization provides them the capability to recruit and advance foreign-qualified lawyers into their partnership ranks. The move is anticipated to offer the firm a competitive edge in attracting the talent necessary to serve their expanding U.S. and European client base, particularly for work centered around Asia.
