Risk management and investigations: Independent local firms

Miura & Partners' practice collaborates closely with both domestic and international public prosecutors’ offices and regulatory bodies on crisis and risk management, as well as government and regulatory investigations. Ryoko Yamaguchi specialises in complex financial fraud investigations, harassment-related matters and tax issues. Takashi Kiuchi focuses on investigations and financial regulatory matters, and Masayuki Atsumi has significant experience in investigations involving antitrust, anti-bribery and other white-collar crime matters. Yuhei Sakao handles a broad range of domestic and cross-border investigations, including whistle blower claims, data manipulation, harassment, personal information leaks, cybersecurity issues and other forms of corporate misconduct. The four co-lead the team.
