Sonderhoff & Einsel welcomes Tsuguhito Omagari as a partner in the Law practice of the firm. Tsuguhito has a diverse background as a finance/corporate partner who has been practicing law for over 15 years.
After graduating from University of Tokyo and the Legal Training and Research Institute, Tsugu began working at the Tokyo office of a Magic Circle UK law firm where he focused on banking and finance and corporate M&A transactions. During his career at the UK law firm, he also had the privilege of working out of the firm’s London and Hong Kong offices as well as being provided the opportunity to obtain his LLM from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and his New York State Bar license. He also has the experience of being seconded to a Japanese bank and a Japan office of a French cosmetics company.
In 2011, he joined the Tokyo office of a large US-based global law firm where he advised on domestic and cross-border transactions and focused on banking, asset finance (especially aircraft finance and real estate finance), and securities matters.
“I am very excited to be here and work with a number of talented professionals in various areas, which should definitely expand my practice and knowledge. I would like to make as much contribution as possible to the firm” said Tsugu. With our firm’s growing aircraft finance practice, we look forward to working with Tsugu to take our aircraft finance practice to the next level.
In his free time, Tsugu likes to take a jog along with the Arakawa River as well as spend time with his 4 children.
