Nishimura & Asahi’s Strategic Alliance with Sy & Partners in Philippines to Support Clients’ Asian Strategies

Nishimura & Asahi, a leading Japanese law firm, has announced a new partnership with Sy & Partners, a Philippine law firm, as part of its plan to strengthen and expand its presence in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

Nishimura & Asahi has a long track record of providing Japanese clients with high-quality legal services for investments, expansions, acquisitions, and daily business operations in the Philippines, working closely with local law firms.

The firm's attorneys have extensive experience in Southeast Asia, including Philippine-licensed lawyers and Japanese lawyers with deep experience working with major Philippine firms and on projects across the region.

Sy & Partners was founded by Felix Sy, a Philippine lawyer with extensive practical and commercial experience and deep expertise in cross-border and multi-jurisdictional legal and business solutions in the region, including helping Japanese clients comply with their legal requirements and achieve their business goals.

Sy & Partners works closely with Nishimura & Asahi to focus on inbound and outbound investments in various areas and sectors, particularly involving the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. The firm has four partners/of counsels, five associate lawyers, and paralegal support, and is committed to growing its team of lawyers and support staff.

Nishimura & Asahi's close connections among its 20 global offices enable the firm to provide high-quality legal services and support its clients' "Asian Strategies," which have become increasingly important as the firm's clients globalise.

“Our firm has been involved in Philippines business for a number of years, and this alliance will allow us access to a wider range of legal services in the Philippines market. Together with the extensive knowledge and experience of Mr. Felix Sy, we will provide high-value-added services,” N&A’s Managing Partner, Ryutaro Nakayama, said.

Felix Sy added: “Working with leading global law firm Nishimura & Asahi will allow Sy & Partners excellent opportunities to provide its premium quality legal and commercial solutions services to more Japanese as well as global and international clients investing and operating in the Philippines and across various jurisdictions, regionally and globally.”
