Global Expansion Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu is expanding its international footprint, with a notable push in the United States, across the Americas, and Europe, presenting opportunities to offer cross-border regulatory, sanctions, and compliance services to multinational clients.

Cross-Border Capabilities The firm’s extensive overseas network (New York, Shanghai, Singapore, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Jakarta, London) and collaboration with local firms create a sales angle for SCDM, data privacy, antitrust, and cross-border M&A services to global clients entering or operating in Japan and Asia.

Intrapreneur Recognition Ryuhei Itaya’s intrapreneur award signals a culture of innovation and internal venture support, suggesting potential consulting or technology-led legal solutions (legal tech, process optimization, risk governance) for larger clients seeking efficiency gains.

Sophisticated Practice The firm’s leadership in corporate, finance, real estate, antitrust, IP, labor, taxation, and white-collar defense indicates high-demand areas where client needs often align with bundled advisory, compliance programs, and risk management services that can be upsold to existing clients.

Mid-Market Growth With 650+ lawyers and a revenue range indicative of a strong mid-to-large market focus, there is an opportunity to target mid-market Japanese and international clients seeking cost-effective, integrated legal teams for complex transactions and restructurings, as well as ongoing governance support.
