Mori Hamada & Matsumoto is pleased to announce the planned opening of an office in Sapporo, Japan.

To date the firm has been providing legal support for matters in Hokkaido through its offices in Tokyo and other locations in Japan.  However, clients have expressed their desire for support closer to where they do business, particularly in the field of corporate law.  By opening an office in Sapporo, Hokkaido, the firm hopes to respond to such needs and expectations, and provide services specifically tailored to the needs of clients in that region.
