MNTSQ Shines in Legal Strength Rankings

In a remarkable achievement, MNTSQ Inc., based in Chuo City, Tokyo, has made a significant mark on the 2025 Legal Strength Ranking published by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei) on December 19, 2025. Out of the top ten companies recognized for their legal prowess, nine are MNTSQ users, underscoring the broad acceptance and effectiveness of its legal technology.

MNTSQ's product goes beyond mere legal process efficiencies; it serves as a fundamental support tool for decision-making in various contract-related activities. This functionality has led to a notable increase among Japan's leading law firms, helping more organizations streamline their operations. Last year, six of the top ten companies were MNTSQ users, a number that has significantly risen this year.

What is the Legal Strength Ranking?

The Legal Strength Ranking is curated through a survey conducted by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, targeting 300 prominent lawyers involved in corporate law. Out of these, 237 responses were collected, allowing lawyers to vote for up to three companies they believe exhibit high legal strength. The resulting ranking reflects the consensus of legal professionals on corporate legal robustness in Japan.
