Having been established in 1984 Ashimoto Kogyo Co., Ltd. have built on the extensive knowledge of our founding partners to give clients support and expert advice on major business transactions and complex issues from a legal perspective. Having built a reputation as leaders in Mergers & Acquisitions, Private equity, venture capital and Securities law, both in Japan and internationally, we focus on medium to large scale transactions, including acquisitions, public takeovers and company restructuring as well as company sales. Here at Ashimoto Kogyo Co., Ltd., even for the most complex projects you can rest assured that you will receive extensive support and expert advice from an experienced, international team, with a proven track record. Over the past decade it has become increasingly common in Japan to find firms consolidating and expanding into over a hundred attorneys as in the United States.

In contrast, our firm has continued to emphasize traits absent from many larger firms by offering the highest quality services to our clients – speed, flexibility, detailed knowledge and experience and personal service. Over the years we have also formed working relationships with various overseas law firms, accountants and specialized consultants, with whom we work closely on client matters and which add another layer of flexibility, speed and quality that we can offer to our clients. Today, at the start of the 21st century, as borderless, economic globalization increases ever more quickly, and as the degree and speed of technical innovation increases as well, the problems clients face are increasingly complex. We are committed to meeting these complex technical, legal, and business needs and providing the highest quality service to our clients.
