Oh-Ebashi LPC & Partners (弁護士法人大江橋法律事務所, Bengoshi Hōjin Ōebashi Hōritsu Jimusho) is the largest law firm in Osaka, Japan and 8th largest law firm in Japan.

After 10 years of relationship with China-based clients, Oh-Ebashi LPC & Partners was the first Japanese law firm to open an office abroad in Shanghai, China.[1]

Although all three offices of Oh-Ebashi LPC & Partners are active in Corporate Legal Affairs,[2] Individual Representation[3] and Pro Bono Activities,[4] Osaka-based M&A work concerning foreign and domestic companies remains a "core strength".[5]
