Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu is scheduled to launch its first permanent European office in London, with a partner specialising in energy, real estate and environmental law set to head the new outfit.
The London office, which is slated to open in January next year, will be headed by partner Kiyoshi Honda, who has particular expertise in renewable energy, and is also experienced in outbound transactions involving the UK and continental Europe.
Currently, the Tokyo-based firm runs a European practice group consisting of more than 10 partners. Among them are overseas-qualified lawyers such as UK-admitted John Lane in cross-border litigation and regulatory investigations, who was previously at Freshfields, and Germany-qualified Axel Kuhlmann in corporate and M&A, who used to be at Gleiss Lutz.
