Announcing the release of the 2024 editions of The Best Lawyers in Japan™ and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Japan™

"For more than 40 years, Best Lawyers awards have been the most reputable guide to professional excellence in the legal field," said CEO of Best Lawyers Phillip Greer. "Last year we expanded our recognitions in Japan to honor lawyers earlier in their careers, while maintaining the rigor of our respected methodology applied to traditional Best Lawyers recognitions. It is an honor to continue elevating the influential work and efforts of these talented and deserving lawyers."

The Best Lawyers Purely Peer Review™ methodology is designed to capture the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area. This preeminent research philosophy is applied to both "Ones to Watch" honors and the traditional lists.

Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Japan awards are presented to lawyers who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice. These recipients typically have been in practice for 3-8 years, whereas the honorees recognized in The Best Lawyers in Japan have on average been in practice for more than nine years. Those who receive high peer reviews are verified to actively work in private practice.

The 2024 editions of The Best Lawyers in Japan recognizes the professional excellence of 1,681 lawyers in 47 practice areas and the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Japan recognizes 315 honorees across 25 practice areas. Additionally, 48 lawyers were recognized as "Lawyer of the Year" honorees and 10 firms received a "Law Firm of the Year" award in 14 practice areas.

"Lawyer of the Year" awards are bestowed to lawyers with the highest overall peer-feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region. "Law Firm of the Year" awards are country and practice area specific. They are determined based on a handful of factors, including feedback from lawyers recognized by Best Lawyers on individual lawyer and firm-wide work, the size and coverage of the firm in a specific practice area, historical analysis of the firm's "Lawyer of the Year" awards in this area and research surrounding the firm's overall scope and areas of expertise.
