Practical Consulting to Accelerate Investment
in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, and other emerging markets
TMI Consulting was established to support corporate overseas expansion, M&A, and investment strategies by leveraging the practical expertise and networks built through the overseas offices of our law firm group.
As part of a law firm group, we offer integrated support—from legal services to strategic planning and on-the-ground execution.
In particular, for cross-border M&A and FDI between Japan and Vietnam, we collaborate with local governments and related institutions to strategically support investments from Japan into Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, and other emerging markets, including Vietnam.

Three Approaches of TMI Consultingapproach
1. Rule-Making FDI Support – Shaping the System
TMI Consulting offers a “rule-making” consulting approach that goes beyond standard services to support institutional and environmental development in investment destination countries. This includes engaging in dialogue and negotiation with local governments to help shape the investment environment itself.
2. Law Firm-Originated Consulting with Execution Capability
TMI Consulting leverages the expertise accumulated as a law firm and its trusted relationships with local authorities to provide execution-focused support.
Rather than stopping at strategy formulation or institutional design, we offer practical and flexible support that extends through to the implementation phase.
Working in collaboration with external consultants and specialists, we provide end-to-end support for corporate investment activities.
3. The Comprehensive Power of the TMI Group and Cross-Border Collaboration
As part of the TMI Associates group, we support overseas business expansion from both legal and business perspectives. We harness the group’s comprehensive strengths—including our extensive regional network, investment-specialized TMI Ventures, and the expert-led TMI Privacy & Security Consulting—to powerfully support cross-border business development.
