As one of the world’s largest law firms, we’ve received our share of recognition. Legal industry publications such as Corporate Counsel magazine and American Lawyer have bestowed their highest honors on us for our legal work. Over a third of the firm’s partners have been singled out for outstanding professional service and legal skill in various independent lawyer ranking reports. And we are regularly mentioned in the press because of our involvement with many of the most interesting and significant legal issues facing companies around the world. After 134 years of legal service, this kind of recognition, along with numerous other accolades, only begins to explain how Morgan Lewis helps clients everyday.
From day-to-day business decisions to the most complex and global business transactions, our clients rely on us to guide them through all of their legal needs. With more than 1,400 lawyers in 22 offices located in Beijing, Boston, Brussels, Chicago, Dallas, Frankfurt, Harrisburg, Houston, Irvine, London, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Palo Alto, Paris, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Princeton, San Francisco, Tokyo, and Washington, D.C., Morgan Lewis offers seamless service across practice areas, no matter where our clients reside.
Team Approach
At Morgan Lewis, clients can access their contact at the firm at any time, day or night, for routine legal matters or complex issues requiring customized problem-solving. Few law firms can offer the strength and international reach that Morgan Lewis can, and even fewer can offer those resources while delivering excellent client service, a mainstay since our founding in 1873. |

Lawyers in the Tokyo office regularly represent Japanese, U.S., and other non-Japanese clients in complex cross-border transactions and disputes. Areas of particular focus in Tokyo include mergers and acquisitions, private equity, corporate finance, and intellectual property matters.

History:
Morgan Lewis was founded in Philadelphia on March 10, 1873 by Charles Eldridge Morgan, Jr., a Civil War veteran, and Francis Draper Lewis, the son of a successful cotton merchant. In 1883, Morgan & Lewis hired Morris Rex Bockius, who dominated the firm from the turn of the century until his death in 1939. He became a partner fifteen years after he joined the firm, which became Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.
In 1882, the firm began to handle work for the United Gas Improvement Company, which became the largest gas and electric utility company in the United States, and (as UGI) is still a client today. That was the beginning of a boom: By the end of the 19th century and into the 20th, Morgan Lewis counseled many leading companies including Philadelphia’s largest newspaper, Pennsylvania’s largest railroad, a major paper manufacturer, banks and trust companies, and the largest manufacturer of steam locomotives in the world.
Today, Morgan Lewis is a global law firm with more than 1,400 lawyers in 22 offices around the world. We are consistently ranked among the world’s leading law firms because we deliver effective solutions. Our clients rely on the firm to guide them through all of their legal needs, from significant business decisions to the most complex global deals and litigation. |
