Yuichi Takano of Mitsui & Co.(Asia Pacific) Pte. Ltd.
Mr Yuichi Takano is recommended for his commitment to technological innovation within Mitsui’s legal division and his proactivity in streamlining how the company interacts with external counsel. He is credited with cultivating “a team that focus on business priorities,” and another interviewee states: “He’s pushing hard to ensure Mitsui is leading in digitalisation and the remodelling of in-house teams. He’s taking that department paperless and constantly asking law firms what they think Mitsui should be doing. Takano-san is at the forefront of that, and going forward it will be critical for law firms to integrate with that.”
