Bird & Bird Expands Global Reach with Tokyo Office

Bird & Bird has officially opened its Tokyo office, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s global expansion. Located in the heart of Tokyo, the office will primarily support outbound cross-border transactions from Japan to the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region.

Our team of experienced lawyers will work closely with local lawyers from Bird & Bird’s global network to provide expert advice on English law issues in key business sectors such as:

• Automotive
• Renewable energy
• Life sciences
• Technology
• Media

The Tokyo office will offer a range of legal services, including:

• M&A transactions
• Technology and outsourcing transactions
• IP law
• Dispute resolution
• Data protection

While our Tokyo office does not provide advice on Japanese law, we will continue to work closely with Japanese law firms to assist clients with Japanese law issues.

The Tokyo office is strategically located to strengthen our relationships with Japanese clients by being close by and located in the same time zone. Our affiliated consulting firm, OXYGY, also has an office in Tokyo and works together to provide comprehensive business and legal solutions to international issues.

The Tokyo office is supported by members of the Global Japan Group, who are based across Bird & Bird’s global network of offices but have extensive knowledge of Japanese business practices.
