Tokyo Office — Emerging Companies and Venture Capital

Orrick is proud to be the premier legal advisor to the world's emerging companies and the venture capital and investment banking firms that support them. Our Emerging Companies Group has a strategic network of relationships with more than 100 venture capital firms worldwide. We also represent more than 450 venture capital-backed emerging growth companies in Silicon Valley and more than 550 throughout the world, including companies in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

Our representation often begins at the formative stage or in connection with "angel" round or venture and mezzanine financings. We assist clients in determining which form the entity should take in all aspects of these financing activities. We also assist mature companies and venture capital firms with their cross-border fund-raising and investment activities, particularly for technology companies.
