Expert guidance for our small business acquisition

As a small business owner looking to acquire a competitor, I needed an attorney who understood both the strategic and legal nuances of such a transaction. Mr. Oguchi at Chuo Sogo LPC was recommended to me, and his background proved invaluable. While his primary practice is in Osaka, his ability to navigate the cross-cultural and legal aspects for our Portland-based deal was impressive. His recognition in Corporate and M&A law was evident in how he structured the due diligence process and negotiated key terms, protecting our interests without derailing the deal's momentum. He has a keen eye for detail, particularly in the asset purchase agreement, and explained complex points in clear, practical terms. The only slight drawback was that communication sometimes experienced a delay due to the time zone difference, requiring some advanced planning for urgent questions. Overall, Mr. Oguchi provided a high level of expertise that gave us great confidence throughout a complex process. We successfully closed the acquisition and are very satisfied with the legal foundation he helped us build.
