About the Firm

I am pleased to announce that I have established my solo firm, WSGO LAW on July 2026. I will continuously specialize in complex litigation, intellectual property and general corporate matters, including multinational and cross-border transactional and dispute resolution matters at the new firm as well with invaluable assistance from a lot of lawyers in both Japan and foreign countries who have kindly kept close relationships with me. I am proud to carry on the tradition of excellence of our “alma mater” and are excited by the opportunities offered to a small and dynamic legal “boutique” in a rapidly changing Japanese and international legal environment.
