Aquaxis Law Office named "Best New Law Firm" by Asia Business Law Journal

MSI's Japan Tokyo-based law member Aquaxis Law Office has been recognised as "Best New Law Firm".

We are honored that our firm has been named “Best New Law Firm” by the Asia Business Law Journal,” said Ayuko Nemoto, Managing Partner of Aquaxis Law Office. “This award reflects the trust of our clients and dedication of our team to provide high quality legal services to clients in Japan and abroad.”

The Best New Law Firm award is based on nominations, references and qualitative information received from in-house counsel and other legal professionals in Japan and around the world. Aquaxis Law Office’s recognition as Best New Law Firm reflects its rapid growth, diverse practice capabilities, and strong international network through MSI Global Alliance.

Asia Business Law Journal states:

Asia Business Law Journal’s 2025 Japan Law Firm Awards are based on nominations, references and qualitative information received from in-house counsel and other legal professionals in Japan and around the world. A nomination form was available on our website and promoted on social media throughout August and September 2025, and thousands of in-house counsel, lawyers at international law firms and other Japan-focused professionals were invited to vote.

At the same time, law firms in Japan were invited to make submissions in support of their candidacy for awards. These submissions, combined with research by Asia Business Law Journal's editorial team, played a supporting role in the judging process. All law firms in Japan were automatically eligible for inclusion in the awards process, and there were no entry fees or any other requirements for entry. Each award category has four winners of equal standing.

We have done everything possible to ensure that the results are thoroughly researched, independent, fair, impartial and reflective of the collective opinions and experiences of those who are best-placed to judge the quality of law firms in Japan.
