Who we are

Rooted in trust. Focused on your goals.

SMBC Law was founded almost a decade ago with a clear vision: to build a firm that combines legal excellence with true partnership and trust. Since then, we have grown not by expanding our client list, but by building long-lasting relationships grounded in reliability, consistency, and shared purpose.

Our philosophy has always been to stand beside our clients, not apart from them. We act as an extension of their legal teams – pragmatic, responsive, and deeply engaged in their business realities. This proximity allows us to deliver advice that is not only precise, but also relevant, strategic, and aligned with their objectives.

Our clients’ success defines our own.

Although boutique in size, SMBC Law has established a strong presence in the market. Our reputation rests on the confidence of those who rely on us, and the results we consistently deliver. In essence, our scale is defined not by our structure, but by the trust we inspire.

From the outset, our work has been guided by four pillars: a business-driven mindset, tailor-made service, an international outlook, and an interdisciplinary approach. These principles have always been at the core of our team’s vision, shaped by diverse backgrounds that complement one another and define how we think, collaborate, and serve our clients.

Today, these same values continue to define who we are and the path we follow, guided by the conviction that our clients – our partners – success is our own.
