Competent in finance law, but communication could improve

Mr. Sakai's expertise in asset finance and banking law is evident, and his recognition in The Best Lawyers in Japan was a key reason we engaged Atsumi & Sakai for a complex aircraft leasing transaction. His deep knowledge of the field, built over 11 years and backed by his international LL.M., provided solid technical guidance. However, our experience was mixed. While the legal work was technically sound, we sometimes faced significant wait times for responses, and communication from his Tokyo base to our San Francisco team wasn't as proactive as we'd hoped. For straightforward, high-stakes finance matters, his competence is clear, but managing client expectations and accessibility could be enhanced.
