M&A

Our firm possesses proven strengths in the M&A field. Our track record in handling complex transactions involving intricate schemes is highly regarded, earning us the No. 2 ranking in the M&A category of the Nikkei "Lawyers Selected by Companies" ranking.
For domestic and international M&A, particularly cross-border transactions, we go beyond merely identifying risks. We assess their magnitude and likelihood of occurrence to present clients with the optimal response strategy. Furthermore, we broadly cover diverse transaction structures, including legal advisory services for financial institutions and securities firms' M&A, organizational restructuring for listed companies, joint ventures and capital/business alliances with foreign companies, and corporate acquisitions by private equity funds.
Furthermore, in dispute cases, including crisis response such as hostile takeovers and control disputes, we untangle complex webs of interests to deliver the optimal resolution for our clients.
