Ventures and Startups

In recent years, opportunities have emerged for cross-sector cooperation to tackle pressing social problems (as indicated by the proliferation in Japan of terms such as ‘industry-academia-government collaboration’, ‘open innovation’, and ‘start-up ecosystem’). We now see venture businesses and startups play an increasingly active role in this space.
Our firm provides legal support to venture businesses at every stage from formation and initial funding to public offering and beyond. We advise on matters including business strategy, financing, capital policy, business alliances, IP strategy, and labor management.
Our services are precisely targeted to our client’s specific needs; we provide expert counsel on the legal and regulatory landscape for clients with new, innovative products or services, and we provide support for the implementation of governance programs (with a view to a future IPO), and negotiation of contracts with investment funds, large companies, and universities.
