Year: 2005

Your MoMo Tokyo crew are taking a break: Daniel Scuka is on vacation right now for a few weeks catching up with family and friends in the US & Canada while Lawrence Cosh-Ishii mans the shop, doing a great job answering the phone, replying to emails, updating the Wireless Watch Japan and Mobile Intelligence Japan projects and (hopefully) catching some rays within view of Fujii-san!

MoMo Tokyo is down for some R&R during July and August, it’s just too damn hot to think about anything else, but we are looking forward to September for the start of our fall MoMo series.

As we plan out the next few events, it would be fantastic to receive a note or quick Skype call if you have any suggestions for speakers or locations. Sure, our meishi card stack is taller than a Yabusame rider on his horse (mostly from attending all the MoMos in 2004 & 2005), but we know there are many more cool, interesting and significant companies out there that we haven’t met yet. If you’ve got an idea or proposal, feel free to contact us.

Have a great summer and see you in September!

MoMo is fully booked – Registration for 27 June is now closed.

We’ve received a fantastic response from everyone (thanks!) and, if you’re one of the lucky ones who has already registered, we’ll see you on Monday for what is shaping up to be a fantastic event.

If you haven’t registered, please accept our genuine apologies: registrations are now closed. 🙁

Our attorneys represent entrepreneurs in a wide range of legal matters and focus on the needs of Internet, life sciences, computer hardware and software, retailing, distribution and other emerging growth companies.

Having represented companies from start-up through public offering and beyond, we respond to the special needs of growing companies with a solution-oriented, pragmatic approach.

Our Tokyo office was established shortly after the enactment of the Special Measures Law Concerning the Engagement in Legal Practice by Foreign Lawyers (the “Foreign Lawyers Law”) in April 1987. The Tokyo office provides legal advice to clients based in Japan on cross-border transactions and on other matters outside Japan. The Tokyo office also provides legal advice to non-Japanese clients on cross-border transactions and other matters in Japan, as permitted under the Foreign Lawyers Law.

In particular, the Tokyo office represents clients in connection with M&A, joint ventures, private equity and restructuring, venture capital, patent and other intellectual property, technology transactions and outsourcing, fund formation, litigation and general corporate and commercial matters, including representation of emerging growth companies.
