K&L Gates has rehired Tokyo corporate partner Tsuguhito Omagari, who left about a year ago to join the Tokyo-based firm Sonderhoff & Einsel.

Omagari focuses on domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, private investment in public entities, aircraft financing, and real estate investment transactions. He was part of the team that advised Japan Airlines Co. on a $9.75 billion order of A350 jetliners from European aeroplane manufacturer Airbus SE in 2013.
