Japanese investors are respected as a major force in international dealmaking. Fasken has a proud history and extensive experience assisting Japanese companies in achieving their goals. The firm’s Japan Group was involved in establishing several prominent Japanese companies in Canada, and continues to advise them on their business activities.
