"As part of a shift in Asia, O'Melveny & Myers will be stepping away from its office in Tokyo, marking an end to its presence in Japan after nearly 40 years. Following a strategic review of our Japan operations, we've determined that we will wind down our office in Tokyo over the coming months. Going forward, we will continue to support our clients in the region from our network of offices across Asia and internationally."
"Yoji Maeda, the O'Melveny's managing partner in Tokyo - who has led the office for over 20 years - will retire as part of the transition. "We are grateful for Yoji's friendship and leadership and wish him all the best in his next chapter," the spokesperson said on behalf of the firm. O'Melveny's exit from Tokyo may be a one-off - or the first sign of a regional shift in Biglaw's long game across Asia."
O'Melveny & Myers will wind down its Tokyo office over the coming months after a strategic review of its Japan operations. The firm will continue to support regional clients from its broader network of offices across Asia and internationally. Yoji Maeda, the Tokyo managing partner who led the office for more than 20 years, will retire as part of the transition. The Tokyo closure ends nearly 40 years of O'Melveny's presence in Japan and may represent either an isolated decision or an early indication of a broader shift in Biglaw strategy across Asia.
