Mergers and Acquisitions


The importance of corporate mergers and acquisitions is widely recognized as a business management strategy, regardless of the size of the business.

M&As are generally considered to be limited to major companies, but – in Japan – there are numerous examples of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) entering into M&As, such as to resolve issues of succession in small – often family-run – businesses.

We actively handle all matters concerning M&As and provide comprehensive legal services including:

  1. Planning of Acquisition Techniques
  2. Due Diligence
  3. Documentation
  4. Negotiations
  5. Advice

Furthermore, our experience working with foreign law firms in more than ten countries and regions enables us to also offer the above services for mergers between Japanese and overseas companies.
