Corporate/M&A: Domestic

Mori Hamada’s corporate and M&A practices together provide comprehensive, market-leading support across the full lifecycle of corporate transactions and governance. At the forefront of high‑profile, complex M&A work, we play a significant role in shaping Japan’s corporate‑acquisition legislative environment and continually build on our cutting‑edge expertise to meet the rapidly evolving global M&A landscape. Our team advises clients on a wide array of transactions—from corporate reorganisations, private equity and start‑up acquisitions, cross‑border mergers and unsolicited bids to the full procedural and regulatory requirements those matters entail.

Complementing our transactional strength, Mori Hamada brings deep experience in corporate law and governance, advising on board and shareholder procedures, shareholders’ meetings, officer remuneration, proxy solicitation and activism defence, and corporate and commercial disputes. Our integrated capability, combining practical corporate‑law advice with a robust litigation practice, enables us to design and assist with implementing effective governance structures, respond to accelerating legal reforms and emerging market practices, and address governance issues and disputes decisively and strategically.
