Supporting our community: Study session at Saitama Prefectural Urawa Girls' Upper Secondary School
Nishimura & Asahi’s legal education team supported a study session at Saitama Prefectural Urawa Girls' Upper Secondary School for first and second-year students on February 4, 2023.
Participants included Mariko Mimura, Takeshi Nemoto, Mihoko Fukuzawa, Ryuto Mishima and Asako Joba (Diversity Promotion Office, alumni of the school).
We hope that such initiatives will help increase the number of legal professional women in Japan.

Mariko has strong expertise in pharmaceutical industry-focused practices, and she has advised on regulations, compliance, M&A, licensing, etc. She has also been involved in crisis management third-party investigation committees, and gave advice based on her extensive experience and knowledge acquired from her experience as one of the board members and management team of several pharmaceutical companies. She is also actively engaged in pro bono matters and in Diversity & inclusion promotional activities, as well as Business and Human Rights and ESG. She takes a leadership role as a core member of our firm’s D&I Promotion.
