Our Story

Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu was established on January 1, 2000, through the merger of Nagashima & Ohno and Tsunematsu Yanase & Sekine. Over the past 20 years, we have expanded based on the philosophy of “providing legal services of the highest quality through the cooperation of many lawyers.” We would like to remain a law firm that meets or exceeds our clients’ needs, handles their most important matters, and is their most trusted firm.
