As the capital of Japan and a major financial hub, Tokyo thrives as a unique and booming metropolis. Among its many assets, the city boasts a rich culture and top Japanese universities. It benefits from the presence of foreign embassies and multinational corporations. The expansive skyline of skyscrapers, framed by the sea and Mt. Fuji, is complemented by national treasures dotting the 23 wards, each of which is a unique social hub.

Ropes & Gray’s Tokyo office shares the same spirit of close client collaboration and long-term commitment that has guided the firm's continued presence in other preeminent centers of finance, government, law and technology. The office serves both U.S. clients with interests in the Pacific Rim and Asian clients focused on the U.S. The office provides real-time access to the sophisticated solutions offered by our leading practice areas, particularly our Private Equity and Intellectual Property Groups.

Associate Kaede Toh (Suffolk Law School ’95) and Partner Jim DeGraw celebrate the opening of our Tokyo office with some sake. The sake barrel was cracked as a traditional way to mark the opening of a new venture in Japan.
