SQE General Talent Development
Tokyo cityscape

 

We are delighted to announce our latest partnership with Bird & Bird Gaikokuho Jimu Bengoshi Jimusho, the newly launched Tokyo office of global law firm Bird & Bird. This collaboration marks a significant milestone as we join forces to enhance the English law expertise of their legal team in Japan, supporting their mission to deliver top-tier legal services in cross-border technology transactions and intellectual property.

At BARBRI, we believe that empowering legal professionals with the right qualifications and skills is key to their success. As Bird & Bird expands in Asia, its Tokyo office has recognised the importance of having associates who are not only well versed in English law but are also fully qualified as English solicitors. By choosing BARBRI as its exclusive provider of Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) preparation courses, Bird & Bird is making a strong commitment to excellence and the continued development of their legal talent.

A partnership built on trust and excellence

Hiroyuki Iwamura, Managing Partner of Bird & Bird Gaikokuho Jimu Bengoshi Jimusho, brings a personal connection to BARBRI’s offerings. Reflecting on his own experience, he said, “Having attended the BARBRI course when I took the NY/NJ bar exams 20 years ago, I know that BARBRI’s bar preparation course is excellent and I am excited that our associates can learn to become proficient English solicitors by attending BARBRI courses. We are going to provide English law advice to our clients in Japan and it is very important for our lawyers to obtain the necessary education in English law as well as qualifications.”

This partnership is more than just a commitment to education – it’s a testament to the trust and confidence that Bird & Bird has in BARBRI’s ability to deliver high-quality legal training that meets the needs of their growing team in Japan.

Supporting global legal excellence

Lucie Allen, Managing Director for BABRI, said, “We are proud to be part of Bird & Bird’s journey as they continue to deliver exceptional legal services across the globe. Our collaboration with the Tokyo office is a perfect example of how BARBRI is continuing to expand its global reach, supporting legal professionals wherever they are. Beyond SQE preparation, we are proud to offer supplementary legal life skills training, such as negotiation skills, which are particularly valuable to firms operating in dynamic and complex markets like Tokyo.

“We understand that legal education is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we tailor our programmes to fit the specific needs of our partners, ensuring that their teams are not only prepared for exams but are also equipped with the practical skills needed to thrive in a global legal environment.”

This partnership reinforces our commitment to providing legal professionals with the education and support they need to achieve their goals. We look forward to seeing the impact of this collaboration as Bird & Bird’s Tokyo office grows, and as we continue to support their lawyers in becoming some of the finest dual-qualified solicitors in the market.
