Corporate / Mergers & Acquisitions in Japan

Our Tokyo Corporate/M&A Group provides a comprehensive range of corporate and commercial legal services to both foreign clients investing in Japan, and Japanese clients investing abroad. As one of the premier M&A teams in Tokyo, we are comprised of international and domestic lawyers and provide solution-oriented advice to meet client transactional needs. Our group has substantial experience coordinating, structuring, documenting and implementing domestic and overseas transactions, including acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, mergers (public and private), reorganizations, spin-offs and strategic alliances. Our experience covers all aspects of these transactions from the review of corporate, securities, environmental, intellectual property, labor, tax and other relevant considerations, to due diligence, preparation and negotiation of documentation, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

We are particularly experienced in handling corporate and M&A matters for companies operating in the telecommunications, pharmaceutical and healthcare, retail and insurance industries. We also advise on environmental and labor issues and provide corporate restructuring legal services by working closely with our Finance and Securities Practice Groups.

In this Recorder article, our lawyers discuss the overlapping legal concerns, such as employment, tax and intellectual property, that companies must address when entering jurisdictions beyond the US.
