Today’s innovation becomes
tomorrow’s tradition.
We aspire to leave our marks on history
that will survive over the vicissitudes of the times and
deem it as our policy to provide the best legal services
without becoming complacent with the tradition of the firm.

ABOUT US
Iwata Godo was established in 1902 by the late Chuzo Iwata, who was to serve later as Minister of Justice, Member of Parliament, and President of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations. Ever since, Iwata Godo has been consistently engaged in corporate legal services for more than 120 years and is one of the oldest law firms in Japan.
We have established a global network and a one-stop support structure to respond to our domestic and overseas clients' demands, from their daily legal issues to overseas expansion.
