Opened in 1987, Skadden’s Tokyo office was the firm’s first international office. We operate as a gaikokuho kyodo jigyo (foreign law joint enterprise) with bengoshi who are licensed to practice law and appear in Japanese courts, advising on a wide range of matters involving domestic and international clients.
Our Tokyo office has extensive experience representing a broad spectrum of Japanese, U.S., European and other international clients in highly diverse and complex cross-border transactions involving global markets. These transactions include mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures; capital markets and structured finance transactions; shareholder activism matters; and real estate-related acquisitions, joint ventures, and debt and equity financings. We also assist clients in restructurings and in the formation of investment funds.
