The firm was founded in 2002 by the merger of Mori Sogo Law Offices and Hamada & Matsumoto. It became the first major Japanese law firm to open an office in Singapore in October 2011,[2] the second to open an office in Fukuoka in July 2013,[3] and the second to open offices in Osaka and Yangon in April 2014.[4] It also opened an "MHM Desk" at the law firm of Chandler & Thong-Ek in Bangkok in September 2013.[5]

Chambers & Partners ranks Mori Hamada as a first tier firm in banking and finance, capital markets, corporate/M&A and intellectual property. Its major clients include All Nippon Airways, Bain Capital, Daikin Industries, INPEX, Nippon Television, Panasonic, Sanyo Electric and Softbank.[6]

Mori Hamada is the only Big Four firm that operates as a single-tiered partnership with equal treatment of partners regardless of seniority.[7]
