Japanese law firm Miura & Partners (M&P) has announced that it will significantly expand its presence overseas with new offices set to open in Jakarta, London and San Francisco. These are the firm’s first offices outside its home country.

In Indonesia, Miura has entered into relationship with local firm Atama Law, a four-member firm headed by partner Richi Armando Sheyoputra. The alliance will be overseen by Miura’s Ryoichi Inoue, lead partner of the firm’s Southeast Asia/South Asia practice.

The Miura office in London will be co-led by partners Haruka Murata and Masayuki Atsumi, with the latter being qualified in England and Wales.

And in San Francisco, Miura has entered into a strategic alliance with Yorozu Law Group, which has been providing legal services to Japanese companies and their U.S. subsidiaries for more than 20 years. Yorozu, led by founder Tasha A. Yorozu, will be re-branded as the San Francisco office of Miura & Partners (U.S.), with Miura Tokyo partners Naomi Koshi and Norika Yuasa traveling regularly to San Francisco to maintain the alliance.

Founded in January 2019, Miura is headquartered in Tokyo’s Otemachi, with other offices in the Shibuya and Kanda districts of Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagoya.
