AMT actively promotes Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) throughout the firm to enable all members of the firm with diverse backgrounds to fully demonstrate their individuality and play an active role in the firm while understanding and respecting each other. As part of these efforts, we recently hosted our second Family Day.

On the day of the event, we welcomed approximately 100 members of the firm and their family members to our Tokyo office. In addition to holding a lecture in which the participants learned what law is, the work of lawyers, and the roles of people who work at a law firm, we held a variety of hands-on activities. During the lecture, it was particularly impressive to see the children listening attentively and enthusiastically raising their hands to answer the quiz questions.

In the mock legal consultation session for elementary school students, we saw the students thinking hard about solutions to difficult issues without hesitation.

At the business card exchange activity, participants exchanged business cards in Japanese, English, and Chinese, and enjoyed learning about business manners for the first time.

In addition, during the office tour, participants visited the workspaces where the members of our firm work, took part in a quiz about the firm, and viewed the exhibits prepared especially for the occasion, giving them an opportunity to experience the atmosphere of our office.

This event was a valuable opportunity for our family members to deepen their understanding of the work and workplace of the firm, and also to create an opportunity for exchanges among the members of our firm.

Going forward, we will continue striving to create a work environment where the members of our firm can perform to their fullest potential with peace of mind while valuing each member and his/her family.
