We first opened a Bangkok office in 2013, under the name Nishimura & Asahi (Thailand) Co., Ltd. In 2019, we drastically expanded our capacity through an alliance with one of Thailand’s leading firms, SCL Group, to form SCL Nishimura & Asahi, one of Thailand’s largest law firms. We are one of the largest, well-resourced and most diverse international business law practices in Southeast Asia.
