Among law firms in Japan today, Anderson Mori & Tomotsune has one of the longest track records of representing and advising international companies in connection with their business ventures and related corporate concerns in Japan, tracing our roots back to the 1950’s to the practices of James Anderson, a Wall Street trained lawyer and Arthur Mori, a Yale Law School graduate who served in the US Army in Tokyo during the Occupation period.
