Japan has recently been undergoing a period of significant reforms in its laws and business practices. In particular, the corporation law of Japan has been completely overhauled and restated in an effort to bring it more in line with that of other industrialized nations and to facilitate the structuring and financing of corporate transactions. Mori Hamada & Matsumoto has been at the forefront in advising on transactions taking advantage of these reforms, including complex cross-border acquisitions and going-private transactions. The firm was also instrumental in the development of the now matured Japanese syndicated loan and securitization markets and has been a leader in the growing private equity market in Japan. In addition, the firm's insolvency practice, dispute resolution practice (including litigation and arbitration) and anti-trust practice are highly regarded for their quality and creativity. The firm also has a large intellectual property practice and is known for its work in rapidly developing technologies, such as telecommunications and information services.
As new businesses and regulatory structures develop, a new variety of litigation is sure to follow, and Mori Hamada & Matsumoto is committed to having the resources necessary to assist clients effectively when disputes inevitably arise.
