Support of new business and Startup
business grand design with a legal perspective

1

We not only advise individual companies, but also help them to build the necessary alliances in the context of the ecosystem value chain. Rather than simply providing legal services to individual companies, we discuss what resources are needed and work together with our clients to build the necessary value chains, sometimes overseas, sometimes with large companies, sometimes with start-ups, sometimes with universities. We also support our clients in building new value chains by helping them to establish partnerships with other industries in their respective businesses.

Startup funding support: assistance in selecting and matching the right investors

-ADVISING ON IPO PREPARATIONS AND MARKET CHANGES FOR TRADITIONAL INDIVIDUAL VENTURES. WE HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF BEING APPOINTED AS AN OUTSIDE DIRECTOR AND ASSISTING COMPANIES FROM THE INSIDE. WE HAVE WORKED WITH SECURITIES COMPANIES, AUDIT FIRMS, TRANSFER AGENTS, VCS AND IPO CONSULTANTS. WE USE THIS EXPERIENCE TO SUPPORT IPOS AS LEGAL COUNSEL.

-We have contacts with dozens of VCs and, where necessary, angel investors. In addition, start-ups need to work with the right investors who can guide the engineers and researchers from the seed stage to avoid strange capital policies. Needless to say, there are certain types of business that are not suited to the unique listing model of Japanese VCs. It is not uncommon to seek legal advice from a lawyer after something has happened.
