Anderson Mōri & Tomotsune (アンダーソン・毛利・友常法律事務所 Andāson Mōri Tomotsune Hōritsu Jimusho?) is one of the "Big Four" law firms in Japan.
The firm was founded in 1952 as O'Gorman, Nattier & Anderson after its three initial partners who were all American attorneys. The firm merged with Shenoh & Mōri in 1961 to form Anderson, Nattier, Mōri & Rabinowitz, which was renamed to Anderson Mōri & Rabinowitz in 1963. The firm changed its name to Anderson & Mōri in 1991 following the departure of partner Richard Rabinowitz, who joined several other Anderson Mori attorneys to form the firm of Tōzai Sōgō in 1994. The firm adopted its present name after merging with Tomotsune & Kimura in 2005; Tomotsune & Kimura was itself an offshoot of the law firm founded by Toshiro Nishimura in 1967, which would eventually become Nishimura & Asahi.
Following the collapse of Bingham McCutchen in 2014, 50 of the 60 lawyers at Bingham's Tokyo office joined Anderson Mori in 2015, with the remainder joining the Tokyo office of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.
Anderson operates as a two-tiered partnership, under which associates become non-equity "junior partners" in their 10th to 12th year of practice, but only become equity-holding senior partners at a later stage (if ever).
The firm joined Ius Laboris in 2014.
Anderson Mori's main office is in Akasaka K-Tower, Akasaka, Minato City, Tokyo. The firm moved to its current location in July 2013. It was previously based in the Izumi Garden Tower in Roppongi.
