Watson Farley & Williams (“WFW”) is pleased to announce that the firm was recognised by Asia Business Law Journal’s Japan Law Firm Awards 2026 in the Shipping and Maritime category.
The awards recognise and celebrate the most essential practices in that country, with winners selected based on nominations, references and qualitative information received from in-house counsel and other legal professionals in Japan and around the world.
WFW Tokyo Office Head Simon Collins commented: “This recognition highlights the depth of our shipping and maritime expertise and the strong relationships we have built within the Japanese market in just a few short years since our Tokyo office opened in 2023, as demonstrated by leading maritime partner Paul Coggins opting to join us earlier this year. We are proud to support Japanese and international clients on some of the industry’s most significant transactions, and we thank Asia Business Law Journal for this acknowledgement of our work”.
