Authense Law Firm (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Attorney: Taichiro Motorae, hereinafter "the Firm") will exhibit at the "M&A Conference MAP 2026" hosted by CrowdWorks Inc. on Wednesday, July 8, 2026 (Venue: Belle Salle Kudan).

On the day, attorneys specializing in the practical aspects of M&A, due diligence (DD), and post-merger integration (PMI) will be available at our booth to discuss legal support for M&A transactions and how to utilize attorneys depending on the scale and complexity of the deal.

We welcome inquiries not only from those considering specific transactions but also from those in the information gathering and initial consideration stages, such as "I've been assigned to M&A, but I don't know where to start" or "I want to know at what stage I should consult an attorney."

M&A Legal Support Tailored to Your Needs

Our firm offers a range of services, from partial support such as initial issue clarification, second opinions, preliminary due diligence, and contract reviews, to comprehensive support covering due diligence, contract negotiations, and closing.

We design the scope of support based on the scale and complexity of the transaction and your company's internal legal capabilities, and provide a clear outline of the scope of work and costs before commencement. This allows you to request only the necessary steps, enabling appropriate allocation of your legal budget for each transaction.

Furthermore, we provide ongoing support for the increased contract reviews during the M&A execution period through "Hōmu Cloud," our legal outsourcing service.

Post-Merger Integration (PMI) Support from a Legal Perspective

M&A is not completed with the signing of the contract (closing). The "PMI (Post-Merger Integration)" phase, which involves integrating the acquired company's regulations, governance, and contracts, can lead to a renewed surge in legal workload. Our firm supports the legal aspects of PMI, including the revision of regulations, contract inventory, and the establishment of governance and compliance systems.

During the integration phase, the emphasis shifts from legal judgment to "execution," which includes designing business processes and coordinating with business units. Our firm has a system in place where consultants from our group company, Authense Consulting Inc., work alongside our attorneys to support PMI from both legal judgment and business design perspectives. Ongoing contract and regulation management after integration will continue to be handled by "Hōmu Cloud."

Topics for Discussion at Our Booth

At our booth on the day, our attorneys will answer questions such as:

• What should be checked first during the M&A consideration phase?

• At what stage should an attorney be consulted?

• What can be confirmed through preliminary due diligence?

• How should tasks handled internally be distinguished from those outsourced to attorneys?

• To what extent should support be requested based on the scale of the transaction?

• Can we request comprehensive support from due diligence through contract negotiation and closing?

• How should the revision of regulations and contracts be approached during post-merger integration (PMI)?

Even if you do not have a specific transaction in mind, please feel free to visit our booth for information gathering on M&A or to discuss your future plans.
