Legal Tech + Japan

Japanese Firm Invests in Reynen Court, Signals Growth in Legal Tech Focus

In what appears to be a world first, a Japanese law firm – Nishimura & Asahi – has invested in a foreign legal tech company: in this case ‘app store’ Reynen Court. The move is far more significant than just the money the company will receive, and indicates a new level of interest in legal tech in Japan – the third largest economy in the world – but which has only recently started to show enthusiasm for integrating tech into legal work processes.
