About

The Japanese legal sector is undergoing a transformational phase, with an increasing number of smaller law firms now offering quality legal services. Boasting a personalized approach and specialized practices, these firms are going toe-to-toe with much larger rivals, and winning clients in the process. In this inaugural list, ALB spotlights 10 such successful firms that are set for even bigger things. The list is in alphabetical order.

日本の法曹市場では中小の法律事務所が次々と設立され、変革を引き起こしている。これらの新しい事務所は、クライアントに合わせて特定の分野に集中することで、大手事務所に負けない実力をその分野で備え、クライアントの獲得につなげている。今回ALBジャパンが初めて行う「今、注目の法律事務所」ランキングでは、今後さらに成長しそうな10事務所を選び紹介する(表記はアルファベット順)。

  • These are firms that are small but are already making waves, and either challenging (or with the potential to challenge) much larger law firms for their share of the work.
  • While submissions are not absolutely necessary—we will combine our stock of industry knowledge with news reports, the general buzz around some firms and publicly available information to select some of the firms on the list—firms are still welcome to send in submissions for consideration.
  • Only firms with 10 partners or fewer will be considered.
