One of Japan’s largest law firms, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto, is to acquire Thailand’s Chandler & Thong-ek.
The deal will see the Bangkok-based firm become a regional centre for the Japanese firm and will incorporate MHM into its name as early as January 2017 according to a report at Nikkei.com.
MHM already has a Bangkok office with 5 lawyers but this will combine with Chandler’s larger 50-lawyer team.
