"I've been very happy with Ronin's ability to ramp resources up or down depending on what we require in a particular week or month. In addition, the ability to connect with multiple lawyers across jurisdictions quickly (US, UK, UAE, Singapore), help us to assess international law firms and then work with them to get the best legal advice is very appreciated."

"Shantanu and the team at Ronin have been invaluable partners for our investment firm's expansion into co-development of specialty pharmaceutical drugs. As we made the transition from more traditional VC investing to direct drug development collaborations, the team at Ronin have utilized their deep domain expertise in cross border pharma to help us set up an effective and compliant structure for our project. I would highly recommend Ronin to any organization in the life sciences space that is looking for legal partners with in depth understanding of the various nuances of this dynamic sector."

Client Testimonials
In feudal Japan, a Ronin was a samurai warrior without a master. Ronin are often depicted in popular culture as proud men of principle who live by a strict code of honour, known as Bushido.
The image of the Ronin as a tragic, solitary and heroic figure is now classic, having been immortalized over generations of films, from Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai, Yojimbo and Sanjuro, to Chushingura and its Hollywood remake, 47 Ronin, to the Zatoichi and Lone Wolf and Cub films (which heavily influenced The Mandalorian TV series), to Takashi Miike’s 13 Assassins, and John Frankenheimer's Ronin.
Chop Wood. Carry Water.
Ronin Legal’s philosophy, “Chop Wood. Carry Water”, evokes the classic Zen koan:
“Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.
After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.”
It’s a reminder to focus on doing the simple things mindfully.
For thereby, through repetition and humility, does one achieve mastery.
