Recognized in Best Lawyers since 2021
Christine Murphy
I engaged Mr. Fujimoto of Atsumi & Sakai to assist my small import/export business with a cross-border distributor agreement, an area where his recognition in International Business Transactions was a key factor in my selection. His substantive knowledge was evident; he efficiently identified several potential compliance pitfalls related to Japanese corporate governance standards, which was invaluable. His educational background from The University of Tokyo and Penn Law clearly informs his approach. However, the experience was mixed. While the final work product was solid, there were significant delays in receiving drafts, and responses to my emails often took several days. For a matter with tight deadlines, this created unnecessary stress. Furthermore, his explanations sometimes assumed a level of legal familiarity I didn't possess, requiring me to seek clarification. He is undoubtedly a capable attorney, as his inclusion in Best Lawyers suggests, but the client service and communication aspects felt merely adequate. For straightforward, non-urgent international contract work, he is a reasonable choice, but you may need to manage expectations around responsiveness.
