‘The team is outstanding in terms of collaboration. One thing which I found remarkable about the firm is its team work. I have worked with the firm on an offshore wind project, which comprises of many different finance and project contracts. While the tasks were allocated to each lawyer, the case was shared and discussed among the team. This effort provided consistency in the quality outcome and enabled flexibility in the negotiation. Needless to say about their legal capability, MHM's project management team is outstanding.'
‘Among MHM Team, Lawyer Hironobu Noma is exceptional. He deeply understand the nature of projects, not limited to legal issues, but also project design, engineering and of course finance. His advise is always productive. He takes technical and engineering aspects into account, when considering risk mitigation and allocation. Without his wide ranged expertise, intellectual curiosity and morale, the project was not possible. I will definitely designate Mr. Noma as our legal advisor, if I am asked to choose any lawyers.’
‘People on the team are all sophisticated and professional. The team structure is well-organized, with a sufficient number of associates, senior associates, and partners to provide high-quality legal advice. Billing is always timely and maintains transparency.’
‘Their experience in various projects differentiates them from their competitors. In particular, Mr. Yusuke Murakami is an outstanding lawyer in the industry, as he has extensive legal and commercial knowledge of renewable projects in Japan.’
