TOKYO – Feb. 27, 2023 – Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP continues the strategic expansion of its Tokyo office Corporate Practice with the addition of Hiroshi Miura as a shareholder. He joins the firm from the Tokyo office of Morrison & Foerster LLP.
Miura focuses his practice on a broad array of corporate matters including cross-border mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance transactions where he represents underwriters as well as issuers, and equity offerings including initial public offerings and preferred stock issuance. He assists Japanese and multi-national companies, which are seeking assistance with matters in the United States, Europe and Asia.
Miura joins Greenberg Traurig’s award-winning attorney team in Tokyo which focuses on corporate, capital markets, funds and investment management, financial regulatory and compliance, real estate, hospitality, infrastructure, dispute resolution, labor, and employment, intellectual property matters.
“Tokyo is a dynamic market and Hiroshi is a well-regarded attorney who will strengthen our ability to provide the highest level of service to meet client needs. He has experience with a broad range of complex corporate transactions that will allow us to provide the creative solutions clients have come to expect from Greenberg Traurig, particularly during times of economic uncertainty,” said Richard A. Rosenbaum, the firm’s executive chairman.
“We are thrilled to add Hiroshi to our team as we are familiar with his dedication to client service and his experience in representing Japanese companies in cross-border M&A matters,” said Koji Ishikawa, managing shareholder of the Tokyo office. “Given a changing domestic market and an aging population, Japanese companies are looking for growth opportunities outside Japan more than ever. Hiroshi’s ability to guide complex transactions to a successful conclusion will be an asset to our Japanese clients and help the firm to expand its role in this area.”
