Miura & Partners offers a one-stop legal solution for clients. Founded in 2019, the firm practises in sectors including corporate and M&A, finance, competition law and intellectual property. With the philosophy of “providing comprehensive legal advice and assisting clients in achieving their business goals”, the firm retains its presence both domestically and internationally. Masayuki Atsumi, Tomotake Matsuda, and Kazuo Itazaki are the key figures. The firm strengthened its dispute resolution practice with six new partners in 2024: Ayako Osugi from the Gifu District Court and Ryota Saito from the Chiba District Public Prosecutors Office joined in April; Mihiro Koeda from Nishimura and Asahi and Munetaka Takahashi from Nagashima Ohno and Tsunematsu in July; Yuko Kato joined from Torikai Law Office in September; and Taro Tanaka arrived from Legal Action Worldwide in Cox's Bazar in November. In separate moves, Takahashi also took on M&A work alongside his dispute resolution practice, while Junko Shiokawa joined the M&A team from Conyers Dill and Pearman in Hong Kong in April 2025.
