Singapore

Singapore, centrally located in the Asia-Pacific region, continues to develop as the “hub of Asia”. Its open policies to foreign capital, such as low tax rates and active pursuit of free-trade agreements, combined with its stable government, legal system, financial system, information availability and other social infrastructure, make Singapore one of the most competitive countries in the world. Our Singapore office not only offers legal services within Singapore, but also plays a coordinating role within the firm’s network covering neighboring Asian countries where our Japanese lawyers are seconded. The wide array of practice areas of the office includes contractual matters, cross-border M&A, establishment of subsidiaries and joint ventures, real estate projects, energy infrastructure projects, dispute resolution including international arbitration, finance and employment.
