In a strategic move, Ashurst has augmented its team in Japan by bringing on Teruma Naito as a partner in its projects and energy transition practice in Tokyo. Naito transitions from AMT, a prominent Big Four Japanese law firm, where he spent over six years. His extensive experience includes previous roles at Allen & Overy in both Tokyo and London, as well as positions at Mitsui & Co. and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation.
This hire is part of a broader effort to strengthen Ashurst’s presence in Asia, following other recent partner additions in Hong Kong and Singapore. For more details about the appointment and Ashurst’s initiatives in the region, please see the full article here.
