Shigeki is a Corporate/M&A partner with a strong track record advising listed companies and core industrial sectors. Leveraging his secondment at a steel manufacturer, he provides strategy‑oriented counsel grounded in a deep understanding of business operations.
Shigeki is a Corporate/M&A lawyer who advises on matters end to end—from complex transactions involving listed companies (business integrations, going‑private deals, capital and business alliances, and JV formations) to takeover defense, shareholder‑activism engagement, and day‑to‑day corporate counsel on matters such as governance, compliance, and shareholder‑meeting management.
Building on a long‑term secondment at a steel manufacturer, he brings an operating‑company perspective and deep industry insight—grounding legal analysis in real business and organizational dynamics and translating it into clear, usable courses of action. He also has hands‑on experience advising on antitrust merger review (merger control), with a growing focus on FDI screening and trade law. Whether a mission‑critical mandate or an everyday question, he works side by side with clients as an empathetic orchestrator to enable steady growth and disciplined business expansion across listed companies and core industrial sectors.
