Mori Hamada & Matsumoto

Mori Hamada & Matsumoto is a full service law firm that has served clients with distinction since its establishment, in December 2002, by the merger of Mori Sogo and Hamada & Matsumoto. Even as business conditions have rapidly shifted both within Japan and internationally, the firm's goal has been to grow with our clients through tireless effort and constant innovation.

Led by top-rated lawyers across a wide array of practice areas, our large team of legal professionals and support staff offer the firm their experience, expertise and hard work to bring our clients the best results in every matter we handle. Our team strives to build new frameworks to tackle cutting-edge problems, to break down barriers on tough cases, and to find a common resolution in matters with many conflicting interests.

Based on this solid foundation of experience, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto also contributes significantly to the constant evolution and improvement of the Japanese legal system, and to the creation of a legal infrastructure that will enable our clients to excel.

Mori Hamada & Matsumoto opened its Beijing Office in 1998, as one of the first Japanese firms in China. The Beijing Office team consists of locally-based Japanese attorneys with a finger on the pulse of China, assisted by Chinese lawyers, paralegals, and translators. This team provides broad support to both Japanese and Chinese companies operating in Beijing and throughout China, coordinating where necessary with our Tokyo, Osaka, and Shanghai Offices.
