120th Anniversary and the Future of Iwata Godo
In 2022, Iwata Godo celebrated the 120th anniversary of its founding.
In order to promptly and accurately respond to changes and to resolve legal issues in a state of complete readiness in any situation, we have focused on strengthening our organizational capabilities through the sharing of knowledge within the office, not to mention each member’s personal daily study. In addition, we continuously update our arrangements, as shown by our business alliance with Tsujimaru International Patent Office, the establishment of IGIP Iwata Godo Patent Attorneys Inc. in 2022 and the opening of our Sapporo office in 2023. Furthermore, in 2020, some practice groups were merged and the size of the staff was expanded. In 2023, over 100 attorneys belonged to the firm. Along with the expansion of the firm, Iwata Godo has also strived to achieve diversity in order to be able to respond to any request from any client. We consider it important to respect each other's opinions and values so that its members with diverse backgrounds can maximize their abilities. We strive to become a law firm that can fulfill expectations from society and meet the needs of rapidly changing times, while cherishing tradition, where each member studies further and always keeps in mind that continuous innovation can create a tradition.
The entire staff of Iwata Godo is determined to contribute to our clients’ sound long-term development through understanding and resolving issues, based on a relationship of trust.
