IP law is rapidly growing worldwide and Tokyo is no exception. International firms based here are increasingly needing experienced IP lawyers to support their growing practices.

PATENT LITIGATION in particular is seeing an increasing demand for experienced and qualified practitioners, working across various industry sectors - from life sciences to high technology.

Lawyers with US Litigation experience are particularly in demand.

Trademark and Copyright experience is highly valued, especially if you have a UK (Commonwealth) or a US admission and experience of working in either US or Commonwealth jurisdictions.

If you have IP experience then please contact us to discuss the many options that you might have in gaining a position with a top tier law firm in Tokyo.

Ideal candidate will have at least 1 to 8 years experiences in a top tier law firm who has qualified in US, UK, Germany, France, Australia or New Zealand or a Bengoshi in Japan.
