Survey on Corporate Officers of Legal/Taxation and Lawyers — published on Nikkei

In a survey asking major companies' legal officers who the 2022 top-performing lawyer is, Mr. Yo Ota became No.1 in corporate legal affairs (corporate law) for the first time. Strong demand for lawyers who are strong in international issues surfaced this year. While asking notable lawyers in Japan on the "top case of interest in 2022," the civil lawsuit by shareholders over the accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant topped the list of domestic cases.
