Spotlight on Japan: Our Japanese Legal Trainee Series

We are proud to launch a short series of articles written by our current Japanese legal trainees—bengoshi who have completed U.S. LLM programs and are now training with Winston & Strawn LLP as part of their professional development.

These articles offer unique insights into cross-border legal practice through the lens of rising Japanese legal talent. They reflect not only the trainees’ curiosity and capabilities but also Winston’s deep commitment to nurturing global legal exchange.

Winston & Strawn has a long-standing and respected Japan practice which began with focus on antitrust and competition law. As Winston’s reputation grew, so did its practice areas. For decades, we have advised Japanese companies on high-stakes litigation, international arbitration, complex cross-border transactions, and regulatory matters. Our firm is proud to support the next generation of Japanese lawyers and to continue building lasting bridges between the U.S. and Japan legal communities.
