Organization

0 practice areas and sectors · 33 lawyers on the firm’s site

How Baker McKenzie Tokyo is organised, read from the titles and practice areas it publishes for each lawyer. A head is named only where the firm states one; otherwise the partner admitted earliest on record stands first and is labelled so.

4 of Baker McKenzie Tokyo’s profiles print the firm’s whole practice list rather than the person’s own, so they are left out of the groups above; only titles the firm states are shown.

29 lawyers list no practice area on the firm’s site; they appear in the list below.
