About this office:
Studio Legale Sutti is the first Italian law firm and patent agency to be directly and independently represented in Japan.
The office in Tokyo is mainly aimed at assisting our domestic clients in negotiations on site and at offering them an interface in dealing with local lawyers or patent attorneys who we may have to instruct on their behalf, but above all to provide the latter with comfortable, Japanese speaking onsite access to the services regarding Italian law and jurisdiction offered by our central resources. Servicing foreign law firms and in-house counsel is in fact the main focus of SLS's international practice.
Accordingly, SLS's Tokyo office is not registered with the Japanese Bar, as it is not permanently staffed by legal personnel, nor aimed at performing any actual legal work locally. It offers, inter alia, meeting facilities, secretarial support in Italian, Japanese and English and a high-speed encrypted link to the central resources of the Firm.
