Toru Ishiguro was selected as one of the ALB's Hot 100, which is ALB's pick of the hottest lawyers of 2006.

"Ishiguro has enjoyed the sort of year in corporate law that the majority of practitioners never get to experience. Leading his firm’s team as comprehensive counsel to Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group on its US$42.7bn merger with UFJ Holdings – winner of Japan Deal of the Year at the 2006 ALB Japan Law Awards – Ishiguro navigated his client through various twists and turns on a deal that involved truly unique ‘deal protection features’ of preferred stock.
