Support of new business and Startup
business grand design with a legal perspective
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 preparation and market changes for conventional individual venture companies. We have experience in working with securities companies, audit firms, transfer agents, VC firms, and IPO consultants. We have supported IPOs as a legal advisor by making the most of such experience.
- We have contacts with dozens of VC firms, and we also work with angel investors when necessary. In addition, in start-ups, it is necessary to work with the right investors who can guide engineers and researchers from the seed stage to avoid strange capital policies. Needless to say, there are some types of businesses for which the unique listing model of Japanese VC is not suitable. In many cases, legal advice is given to lawyers after something has happened.
Our strength is that we are able to build a support system based on our experience in providing legal support to business entities of various sizes, our experience in supporting actual IPOs (both as outside counsel and outside directors), and our network of contacts in a wide range of startup ecosystems. We have also established the Life Science Incubation Council for food and healthcare startups, and are involved in support activities as a consortium.
