From the vibrant grounds of Expo 2025 Osaka to meaningful discussions with key institutions, our recent visit to Japan was a week of connection, collaboration and shared vision.

Our team comprised of Deputy Managing Partner, Kevin Richard Nathan and Senior Associate, Azrul Haziq Khirullah had the privilege of engaging with amongst others the Malaysia-Japan Economic Association (MAJECA), the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) (Osaka office), Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) (Tokyo office) and our affiliate One Asia Lawyers (OAL) (Osaka and Tokyo offices).

Our team also had the privilege of meeting the Deputy Secretary-General for ASEAN Economic Community, H.E Mr. Satvinder Singh during the ASEAN Business Forum held at the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

These engagements reinforced the importance of cross-border cooperation and the role legal advisory can play in enabling trade, investment and innovation between Malaysia, Japan and the wider region.

We thank all our hosts for the warm welcome and insightful exchanges and we look forward to building on these relationships to create opportunities that benefit our clients and partners.
