On January 1, 2024, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 was observed in the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture. We appreciate the warm concern of our many clients and associates, evidenced by the numerous messages of support we have received.

Fortunately, our firm and facilities were not damaged, and we have been able to continue operations normally in our offices in Osaka, Tokyo, and Nagoya.

At this time, we would also like to express our sincere sympathy to the people affected by this disaster. Thank you very much for your ongoing support.
