Nishimura & Asahi (Gaikokuho Kyodo Jigyo)

Leading Japanese law firm Nishimura & Asahi is pleased to announce its rebranding and Nishimura & Asahi (Partnership)’s commencement of a Foreign Law Joint Enterprise.

Nishimura & Asahi was established in Tokyo in 1966. Since 2010, we have opened offices around the world. Today we are a global family of more than 800* professionals and 1,000* support staff with a presence in 19* offices, along with an established network that facilitates our delivery of top-tier legal services across Japan and around the world.

As cross-border economic activity becomes increasingly important, clients require legal services unconstrained by past precedents. Under the aegis of our promise, Leading You Forward, we have refreshed our brand and, as of September 4, 2023, commenced Nishimura & Asahi (Partnership)’s Foreign Law Joint Enterprise to emphasize our continued growth as a global law firm.

We aim to strengthen the international collaboration between Japanese and non-Japanese lawyers on cross-border matters through the establishment of the Foreign Law Joint Enterprise. We support our clients’ increasingly vital global strategies and are committed to providing comprehensive solutions tailored to the business needs of each client.

 

 

Our new logo features three "Nishimura Arrows" soaring toward the sky.

These “Nishimura Arrows,” which resemble folded paper airplanes, proudly reflect our pride in our roots as a Japanese law firm. They demonstrate our harmonious blending of tradition with innovation, individual prowess with organizational unity, and Japanese identity with global perspective. The three arrows represent our three strengths: Solutions, Commitment, and Spirit—which symbolize our dedication to the growth of our clients and to contributing to society through our core promise: Leading You Forward.

As a diverse, global law firm with not only legal insights but also a comprehensive understanding of business, Nishimura Asahi continues to strive toward achievement of our fundamental mission: to realize an affluent and fair society based on the rule of law.
