LPA Tokyo has bolstered its corporate and M&A practice with the addition of partner Yoshiki Tsurumaki.
Tsurumaki joins from King & Wood, where he served as a partner for nearly a decade. He previously spent more than nine years as a partner at Japanese firm Atsumi & Sakai.
Tsurumaki specialises in domestic and cross-border M&A finance, capital markets, corporate venture capital investment, ESG investment, data centres, real estate, general corporate, and dispute resolution.
“Yoshiki’s appointment reflects LPA Tokyo’s continued commitment to strengthening its corporate and M&A capabilities, and supporting the development of its Japan practice in line with evolving client needs,” Lionel Vincent, managing partner of LPA Tokyo, told Asia Business Law Journal.
Vincent said that Tsurumaki’s appointment would further enhance the firm’s ability to meet increasing client demand across complex areas.
“His arrival also forms part of LPA Tokyo’s broader strategic development and its continued adaptation to the growing demand in the Japanese market for sophisticated M&A, investment and projects-related legal expertise,” he said.
“It further enhances the team’s ability to support both domestic and international clients on complex cross-border matters, in close co-ordination with LPA Law’s offices across Europe and Asia.”
