City-Yuwa Partners was formed
February 1, 2003 upon the merger of Yuwa Partners and the Law Department
of Tokyo City Law & Tax Partners, resulting in one of Japan's
leading law firms. With the recent merger in September of 2005 of
Ohba, Ozaki & Shimasue, one of Japan's top patent litigation firms,
City-Yuwa Partners has grown into one of Japan's preeminent law firms
capable of providing a full range of diversified legal services. With
twenty-six partners, three attorneys of counsel, and sixty-two associate
attorneys, in addition to two judicial scriveners, two foreign attorneys
and over one hundred support staff of legal assistants and secretaries,
the firm continues to be widely recognized as one of Japan's prominent
law firms with an established reputation for providing the highest
quality of legal services to its many diversified clients.
The firm routinely counsels its clients in areas ranging from
general corporate matters, international transactions, and financial
transactions, including asset securitization and the establishment
of investment funds, to mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property,
civil and commercial litigation, and bankruptcy. The firm's attorneys
are knowledgeable in a wide range of legal areas, with particular
expertise in corporate law, international banking and finance, securities,
mergers and acquisitions, investments, real estate, intellectual property,
litigation and arbitration, bankruptcy and virtually all aspects of
international and domestic business transactions. The firm's attorneys
and support staff are fluent in English, thereby enabling the firm
to counsel its foreign clients and generate documentation for complex
transactions in both Japanese and English.
The firm maintains close contacts with leading law firms throughout
the world, and often cooperates with foreign firms and their Tokyo
branch offices in rendering services to their common clients. Additionally,
City-Yuwa Partners is a member of the World
Law Group, an association of over forty-eight law firms from thirty-seven
countries around the world, as well as associated with two Japanese
law firms respectively located in Osaka and Nagoya.
The firm's offices are located in the center of Tokyo in the Marunouchi
Mitsui Building and easily accessible by subway or taxi from all leading
Tokyo hotels. |
