A leading international law firm is looking to recruit a Corporate Associate to join its highly regarded Tokyo team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a 3+ PQE Lawyer to join a top-tier international platform advising on complex cross-border M&A, private equity transactions, strategic investments, joint ventures and corporate advisory matters involving Japan and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
The team acts for major corporates, financial institutions, insurers, private equity sponsors and other sophisticated clients on high-value domestic and international transactions. The role would suit a common law-qualified Lawyer, including England & Wales, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong or similar, with strong technical training and a genuine interest in Japan-related transactional work.
The successful candidate is likely to have:
- Strong corporate/M&A experience from a leading international, City, offshore or major domestic firm;
- Experience in cross-border transactions, private equity, strategic investments or joint ventures;
- Excellent drafting, project management and client-handling skills;
- A commercial, international outlook and the confidence to work closely with Lawyers across multiple jurisdictions; and
- Japanese language skills (although helpful, not essential).
This is a rare opportunity to join a highly regarded Tokyo practice with a genuinely international client base, excellent Partner access and high-quality work from day one.
