Service and Teamwork

Powerful Legal Teams

• Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu (NO&T) has powerful legal teams of lawyers, paralegals and secretaries capable of providing our clients with effective practical solutions.
• Each team has hands-on experience in achieving real results for clients in almost every sector of business including the manufacturing sector, the high-tech sector (such as computer and telecommunications), the finance and securities sectors, the distribution sector and the service industry sector.
• Because so many of our clients are domestic or foreign multi-national corporations, our teams also have tremendous experience in the international arena.

Optimum Staffing for Every Case

• Team units are organized based on the type and needs of each case.
• Having specialized knowledge and experience, our lawyers are able to provide legal services and advice in various fields. Thus, our clients do not need to seek advice from other firms when dealing with complex or multiple matters.

Emphasis on Training and Continuing Education for Our Lawyers

• By providing legal services within the framework of NO&T's legal team system, our lawyers gain invaluable experience in cases spanning a wide range of practice areas, thereby adding to their knowledge and competency.
• Learning continues through participation by our lawyers in foreign legal studies programs, independent research and study arrangements and/or through placements with educational and governmental institutions. Further training is accomplished through internal office study sessions and by virtue of NO&T's specialty practice group system.

Staff Development

• NO&T trains and develops paralegals of incomparable quality and competence. We place great importance on their specialist knowledge and offer them work that affords them substantial learning opportunities and responsibilities under the guidance of our lawyers.
• Secretaries are trained to continuously improve, maintain excellent communication skills and to cooperate with lawyers and other staff so as to work swiftly, effectively and precisely.
• Administration staff members, including information technology staff, are the administrative “backbone” of the firm ensuring the delivery of high quality legal services and supporting various aspects of NO&T's business operations.

Close Working Relationships with Foreign Law Firms

• Based upon many years of working together with law firms from around the world, NO&T has developed close informal working relationships with top-tier law firms in New York, London and every major city in the world.
• Our basic policy is to avoid exclusive affiliations with foreign law firms, electing instead to have the flexibility to be able to select the most appropriate foreign law firm to meet a client's particular needs.
