As companies increasingly engage in cross-border transactions and international operations, legal services are also going global, according to a U.S. law firm hoping to tap into the Japanese market.

Applying the concept of "one-stop shopping" to legal services, Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue aims to offer clients services that cover major business and financial centers, including Tokyo.

"Jones Day's strategy is not only to be present in the key centers of business and finance, but also to bring a broad range of services to those locations for clients that do business worldwide," managing partner Patrick F. McCartan said, referring to Jones Day's global network of more than 1,600 lawyers and 26 offices.
