On September 10, 2023, a visiting delegation from the Osaka Bar Association in Japan visited Shanghai Landing Law Offices (hereinafter referred to as LANDING) for research and exchange. The delegation was led by the President of the Osaka Bar Association, Hideo Miki, and included Vice President Hiroshi Sugiyama, Chairman of the International Committee Ichiro Fujimoto, Vice Chairman of the International Committee Akira Nakai, and Committee Members Yuki Ikegami and Uto Kubota. Liu Yixing, the Director of Landing Global Management Committee, along with senior partners Wang Zhan, Jia Xiaohai, Xia Ling, and Guan Qiyi participated in the discussion.

Director Liu Yixing, on behalf of LANDING, welcomed the visit of the Osaka Bar Association. He introduced the development process of the Chinese legal profession and the continuous changes that Landing has undergone in recent years. During the introduction, he emphasized the similarities between the Chinese and Japanese legal professions. He acknowledged Japan's important contributions in the international training of lawyers and the process of Western legal methods being applied in an Eastern context. Currently, the level of the Chinese legal profession does not match China's economic strength. Establishing an internationally renowned law firm that serves multinational companies is an area where the Chinese legal profession can learn from their Japanese counterparts.

Mr. Hideo Miki, President of the Osaka Bar Association, stated that the Osaka Bar Association has already signed a cooperation agreement with the Shanghai Bar Association. The two sides will carry out more in-depth exchanges. After understanding the overall situation of the development of the Chinese legal profession through the Shanghai Bar Association, they visited LANDING to learn about the specific development of Chinese law firms. He highly praised LANDING 's development and enterprising spirit, and expressed hope for further exchanges between the two sides in the future.

Mr. Ichiro Fujimoto, Chairman of the International Committee of the Osaka Bar Association, mentioned the 2025 Osaka Expo and asked lawyers with experience from the 2010 Shanghai Expo for relevant insights.

Lawyer Jia Xiaohai reviewed his own work experience during the 2010 Expo and stated that this experience was of great help to the law firm and the lawyers involved.

After the friendly exchange, the delegation also visited the Landing Law Offices. Japanese lawyers showed great curiosity about the office environment at LANDING, especially the Japanese anime figures on the desks. Director Liu explained that LANDING has many young lawyers who have a strong interest in Japanese anime and culture. LANDING has a very relaxed and free working atmosphere, encouraging young lawyers to fully explore their inner passions.

The exchange ended in a warm and friendly atmosphere, and a group photo was taken to commemorate the occasion.
