Sam Inohara, the only Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) focused partner at the NRF (Norton Rose Fulbright) firm, has left to open a solo practice in Japan.
Inohara’s departure leaves NRF with four partners in Tokyo. While three of them primary deal with projects and financing matters, the remaining partner’s focus lies in antitrust matters.
As a leading lawyer in NRF’s M&A team, Inohara’s move promises to create ripples in the Japanese legal landscape. Notably, the details surrounding his new solo practice remains undisclosed currently as the detailed report is behind a paywall.
However, for legal professionals, it is critical to note this shift as it potentially signals a new chapter in the M&A legal practice within Japan.
