On October 14, 2005, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto held a seminar focusing on intellectual property practice to commemorate our merger with Max Law Offices and hosted a reception afterward at the Hotel New Otani. Over 1000 guests took part in the seminar and reception, and we thank all for their attendance. As a result of this merger with Max Law Offices, our intellectual property practice now comprises of over 30 lawyers, enabling our firm to swiftly and expertly meet our clients’ needs in the increasingly complex and specialized intellectual property field.
