The core members of our capital
markets practice joined us in the merger of Tokyo Aoyama Law Office
and Aoki & Partners that took place in May 2001. These lawyers
have been recognized as pioneers in securities and capital markets
work, advising Japanese corporations on securities issues in foreign
jurisdictions and foreign governments and international organizations
on bond issues in Japan.
The group has been involved in:
 |
Public offerings (including the preparation
of the prospectus), and listing and private placements of securities
in Japan - these transactions have included offerings of new
equities (IPOs), ADRs, domestic and foreign bonds, and foreign
funds. |
|
Equity offered privately or publicly
in major capital markets in Europe, the United States and Asia. |
|
Subordinated debt and equity-linked
structured issues.
|
|
Rule 144A offerings, NYSE listings,
disclosure of risk factors and IPOs on the Hercules, Mothers
and foreign OTC markets. |
|
The securitization of loans, real estate,
and asset-backed securities. |
Asia Pacific Legal 500 (2000/2001 Edition) ranks the group's capital
markets practice in the first tier, stating that: "[the group]
is Japan's leading capital markets boutique, frequently acting
for issuers, as well as for domestic and international financial
institutions on a range of bond issues, noticeably sovereign bonds
and Samurai bonds. Recently [the group] has also been involved
in equity-linked structured issues under swap arrangements, as
well as the private placement of equity in the US under rule 144A.
Foreign issuers the firm has advised include the Commonwealth of
Australia, Canada, Ireland and the Republic of Singapore. The firm
has also handled issues for a range of financial institutions,
including the European Investment Bank and the African Development
Bank." |
