ABOUT US

Who We Are

Langley Esquire k.k., is the company that “gets the impossible done in Japan” (The Japan Times, 11/11/06).

We are able to achieve Client’s success through our unrivaled network across government, media, business and academia, coupled with our experience inside.

Our Story

We are a tight-knot team of policy analysts, public relations specialists and government relations experts. We observe and analyze Japan’s political, policy and business landscape and dedicate ourselves to giving our clients solutions that are customized to their needs.

Langley Esquire has come a long way since the company was launched soon after Timothy Langley completed his tenures as General Counsel at Apple Computer and at General Motors Asia Pacific. At that time, the Company excelled in providing on-the-spot legal, political, and bureaucratic solutions. Clients were Fortune 500 international companies, embassies, Chambers of Commerce. In due course, Langley Esquire became an industry leader in the rarified field of Japanese government relations and public affairs.

Pivotal Moments

In 2017, Langley Esquire had its first pivotal moment when one of Timothy’s three sons, Mickey, joined the company. Two years later, third son Kelly joined. The business expanded while Mickey and Kelly developed industry experience and gradually the provision of legal services was discontinued. During their time with Langley Esquire, the company invested in initiatives that provided added value to our customers, not just the ones that drove business growth. During COVID19, the company continued active engagement in government affairs projects. We worked in the energy, technology, travel and retail sectors.

In 2023 the pandemic subsided and market entrants returned in earnest. The boys wanted to capitalize on the opportunities presented, utilize the experiences gained under their father’s tutelage, and start their own business. What a great launching-pad for their careers, as Timothy continues to lead his bilingual and multicultural team to provide high-end solutions to complex issues at the crosspoint of public policy, politics and business in Japan.

The Langley Esquire team has an accumulated experience of over 70 years in providing solutions to thorny situations. There is little we have not dealt with. We devote unwavering attention to meeting our Client’s needs even to the extent of “getting the impossible done”. Don’t take our word for it, here is what others say about us:

Don’t just take our word for it

"I had the pleasure of working with Langley Esquire for our organization's policy monitoring and analysis needs, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of expertise and professionalism they brought to the table. Their in-depth understanding of the regulatory landscape, combined with their ability to distill complex information into actionable insights, has been invaluable to our decision-making process.

Langley Esquire's team went above and beyond to tailor their monitoring and analysis to our specific industry requirements, ensuring that we were well-positioned to navigate upcoming policy changes. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality, timely results made a real difference in shaping our strategic direction.

I highly recommend Langley Esquire for anyone seeking reliable, insightful policy monitoring and analysis services."

"Timothy Langley and his team possess an immense network in Japan which has opened doors for corporations, company presidents, all the way to one (visiting) former President of the United States: George W. Bush.

Knowledgeable in Japanese political dynamics, policy representation, advocacy, establishing offices, labor relations, and just “getting things done”, Langley Esquire team members help you acclimatize your business to this incredibly lucrative marketplace with the right product and service."
