Law firm completes Japanese transaction

Bingham McCutchen LLP, a US law firm with a large office in Boston, has completed a joint venture combination with a Japanese law firm known as New Tokyo International Law Office.

Bingham and New Tokyo have officially combined operations in Tokyo and moved into larger space, Bingham said today.

The combination increases Bingham's Tokyo presence to more than 50 Japanese lawyers and six foreign lawyers, the firm said.

The transaction was first announced in June.

Earlier this year, Bingham combined with another Japanese firm, Sakai & Mimura.
