Jenner & Block Partner Miwa Shoda was named to the Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2023 Top 100 Lawyers list, which recognizes the top law professionals in the Los Angeles area “for their ongoing efforts as outstanding legal stewards.” The lawyers listed “have demonstrated exceptional legal skill and achievements across the full spectrum of responsibility, exemplary leadership, and contributions to the Los Angeles community at large.”
Miwa’s profile highlights her experience beginning her career at one of Japan’s top law firms and making the “unheard of transition from visiting attorney to associate followed by partner at an AmLaw 100 firm” in the US, and her "strong ability to articulate complicated legal concepts and strategies across various practice areas."
As Co-Chair of the firm’s Japan Practice, Miwa advises a wide variety of Japanese companies who are conducting business across the United States and worldwide on numerous legal matters, including litigation, M&A, corporate, intellectual property, privacy and data protection, antitrust and white-collar defense.
Her extensive legal practice experience in both Japan and the US and deep understanding of Japanese business culture, as well as language skills, are highly appreciated by Japanese clients who face legal issues in the US, where the legal system and business culture differ vastly from that of Japan.
