Anderson Mori & Tomotsune has extensive experience in all aspects of complex cross-border business combination transactions involving both public and private companies, including the acquisition of shares by tender offer, the allotment of new shares to an acquirer, acquisitions by way of company split or share exchange, asset purchases and dispositions and the combination of corporations by way of merger. Our expertise also extends to leveraged buyouts, management buyouts and other going private transactions. AM&T also has extensive experience in assisting international companies entering into the Japanese market by way of forming joint ventures and strategic alliances with Japanese companies and we act similarly for Japanese companies in connection with their global expansion activities. Further, we have experience with corporate reorganization matters, including tax-free reorganizations, non-bankruptcy restructurings and spin-offs. We represent a diverse set of corporate, private equity and investment banking clients based in Asia, the Americas and Europe.
We have a core group of partners who focus on M&A work who are supported by an interdisciplinary team of counsel and associates. Our team of accomplished M&A practitioners provides a one-stop shop to clients looking for a full range of legal services related to M&A, including deal structuring, legal due diligence, transaction document drafting and negotiation, compliance with the Japan Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and advising on insider trading regulations. We are a full service corporate law firm and as necessary, our M&A lawyers work closely with their counterparts in antitrust, employment, finance, intellectual property/information technology, litigation, real estate, and tax in all phases of a transaction from structuring through execution. For example, our M&A practitioners work hand in hand with our labor and employment practice group to address the labor and employment issues that typically arise in the post-merger integration phase of a transaction.
The fact that our M&A practitioners are fluent in English, some of whom can likewise assist clients in Chinese as well as other languages, further enhances our ability to service our clients' needs.
