TOKYO<\/span><\/span>, May 13, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Fisher Phillips, an international labor and employment law firm representing employers, announces the continuation of its global expansion with the launch of a Tokyo<\/span> office. The new office gives Fisher Phillips a foothold in the region to respond to increasing client demand from American and multinational companies doing business in Japan<\/span> and from Japanese companies doing business in the Americas.<\/p>\n

The new office location comes in response to Japan<\/span> solidifying its position as a leading foreign investor in the U.S. \u2013 a trend that is expected to continue. As Japanese companies increasingly invest and operate within the U.S., their need to navigate and adhere to the complexities of the American legal system has grown significantly. This necessitates a deeper understanding and robust compliance strategies concerning U.S. laws and regulations to ensure smooth operations and mitigate potential legal risks.<\/p>\n

“The dynamic shifts in both the U.S. and Japanese employment regulations, coupled with the increasing globalization of business and the strategic importance of the Japanese market, have driven a substantial rise in demand for thoughtful and regionally available services tailored to the specific legal and cultural nuances of Japan<\/span> and the broader Asia-Pacific<\/span>,” said John Polson<\/span><\/b><\/a>, Chairman and Managing Partner of Fisher Phillips. “Through our 45 offices across the U.S., Mexico<\/span> and Japan<\/span>, we can provide seamless coordination for global clients facing complex cross-border employment issues, ensuring consistent and effective legal counsel across multiple jurisdictions.” <\/p>\n

William Wright<\/span><\/b><\/a> is Fisher Phillips’ Head of Global Strategies and has been behind the firm’s successful international expansion. Having focused almost exclusively on international employment issues for over 30 years, Bill noted that “this new office isn’t just an expansion; it’s a strategic alignment, creating powerful synergies with our existing work and client base. Tokyo<\/span> represents yet another crucial international platform upon which we can seamlessly serve clients with increasingly complex multinational operations around the world.”<\/p>\n

With the opening in Tokyo<\/span>, Fisher Phillips’ global consulting firm, Fisher Worldwide<\/a>, also expands its services in Asia<\/span>. Fisher Worldwide provides multinational companies with an international network of legal and HR consultants who can provide centralized critical support in talent management, compensation, compliance and operations, union relations, employee engagement and start-up\/exit strategies.<\/p>\n

The Tokyo<\/span> office will be led by Nan Sato<\/span><\/b><\/a>, who also serves as Co-Chair of the firm’s International Practice Group with Bill Wright<\/span>. As a U.S. lawyer and a Foreign Legal Counsel registered with Japanese Ministry of Justice, Nan will split her time between her U.S.-based practice and developing the firm’s Asia<\/span> presence. She has extensive experience representing U.S. companies operating in Asia<\/span> as well as Asian companies looking to expand into the U.S. market. As a global business partner, Nan helps multi-national corporations establish new international operations, M&A-related employment and data privacy issues, termination processes, international labor relations, global pay equity audits, as well as cross-border employment disputes.<\/p>\n

Joining Nan will be six legal professionals and consultants who can help multinational companies on employment issues, corporate transactions, and regulatory compliance in Asia<\/span>, as well as structuring and negotiating cross-border transactions, and advising on labor and employment issues in global mobility scenarios. The team offers a unique advantage in providing fast and reliable support to the firm’s Japanese clients, communicating in their language and during their business hours.
