About

Mayer Brown has longstanding relationships with top-tier Japanese trading houses, financial institutions and multinational companies. We have decades of experience advising clients worldwide on Japan-related matters.

They acquire an in-depth understanding of our client’s specific business challenges and assist them in identifying strategic priorities.

  • Corporate mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures
  • Finance, including project financings and corporate finance

Notice

We (Mayer Brown | 孖士打律师行) have been made aware of a website (https://kjcq8.com/) (“Suspicious Website”) using the English name and trademark of our Firm purporting to provide free consultation and legal services in relation to fraudulent acts. The addresses of our Hong Kong and Singapore offices have been mentioned on the Suspicious Website. It has also been brought to our attention that fictitious business cards with our Firm’s English name and “美亚博律师事务所”, bearing our Hong Kong office address, have been given to individuals who are apparently victims of fraud. We would like to clarify that our Firm’s official website is www.mayerbrown.com. We have no connection whatsoever with the Suspicious Website nor the fictitious business cards purporting to relate to lawyers of our Firm. If in doubt, please refer to contact details provided by our official website should you wish to speak to one of our lawyers.

We are extremely concerned with the impersonation and possible scam being perpetrated via the Suspicious Website and individuals purporting to be lawyers of our Firm. We have reported the matter to the police and other appropriate bodies, and are taking appropriate actions in connection with this matter.
