Japan

With the fourth largest global economy and the EU’s second-largest Asian trading partner, Japan’s tech-rich culture is a natural fit for our world-leading tech firm.

Bird & Bird has been assisting Japanese clients all over the world on various legal issues for many years.  We have lawyers all over the world who understand the business practice of Japanese companies and provide legal advice tailored to relevant business sectors.

We are a full service global law firm, but our strong focus on technology and IP enables us to assist Japanese clients which need to protect and utilise their important technologies and know-hows when they are conducting their business outside of Japan.

We have recently opened an office in Tokyo which is supported by our Global Japan Group members located in various offices around the globe. To know more about the Tokyo office or the members of the Global Japan Group, please click the links below:
