The specialty of the firm is corporate M&A. It is distinct due to its relationship with its Japanese clients that work with companies in the Americas. The firm is heavily involved in cross-border acquisitions, advising buyers, sellers and joint venture partners in the financial services and manufacturing sectors. Many of its clients are entering the American market for the first time.
