EY Law Co. was one of the first law firms in Japan to form an association with a global professional services firm; we did so when we associated with EY in 2013. Our exceptional quality legal advice, international coverage and multi-disciplinary collaboration are our key differentiators in the market. This is made possible through our association with EY, and we provide solutions-oriented services to clients by closely collaborating with other experts and using our global network.
We are building a better working world
The insights and quality services we deliver help build trust and confidence in the capital markets and in economies the world over. We develop outstanding leaders who team to deliver on our promises to all of our stakeholders. In so doing, we play a critical role in building a better working world for our people, for our clients and for our communities.
