White-collar crime specialist Kaede Toh has joined Latham & Watkins’ Tokyo office as a partner from Ropes & Gray, where she spent nearly two decades.

Toh’s practice focuses on white-collar criminal defence and antitrust enforcement actions by the U.S. Department of Justice and non-U.S. regulators. She also advises on anti-corruption diligence in M&A, private equity transactions, risk assessments, compliance and anti-corruption policies. 

Toh is Latham’s second partner hire in Asia in the last three months, after the firm added private equity finance lawyer Andrew Bishop in Hong Kong from White & Case.
