Working in Tokyo
Tokyo is an exciting city, offering everything you could possibly want and more. With the shopping, restaurants and nightlife of nearby Ginza, Shibuya and Roppongi only minutes away, you won’t be short of things do after hours.
Outside Tokyo, Japan offers beautiful countryside, fascinating historical sites and sports from snow-boarding and skiing to surfing. And it’s all easily accessible via the unfailingly efficient train system.
Within the Tokyo office, we offer an exciting work environment based on support and collaboration, with the opportunity to work alongside many dynamic and inspiring people.
Global Mobility and Client Secondments
As a global organisation we support opportunities for our lawyers to spend time in other offices within our network. Fostering our 'one firm' culture, international secondments are a key way in which we share our expertise, enrich experiences and broaden horizons.
Opportunities to spend time at a client working within their in-house legal team are also common.
