Our research process involves sending over 4,000 questionnaires to senior practitioners or in-house counsel involved in each practice area in over 80 jurisdictions, asking them to nominateleading practitioners based on their work and reputation. The results are analysed and screenedfor firm, network and alliance bias. The list of experts is then discussed and refined with advisersin legal centres worldwide.

Our researchers have compiled a list of specialists in 86 jurisdictions for this guide. Thesespecialists have been independently offered the opportunity to enhance their listing with aprofessional biography. The biographies give readers valuable, detailed information regardingeach lawyer’s practice and, if appropriate, their work and clients.

We owe the success of this guide to all the in-house counsel and firms that completedquestionnaires and met our researchers. Thank you. We hope you find the guide to be a usefultool. All information was believed to be correct at the time of going to press.

UN I T E D S TAT E S

Masahiro Ueno is a partner at Nishimura & Asahi. His areas of expertiseare in securities, finance and banking law with an emphasis on structuredfinance. He has advised on numerous transactions relating to M&Afinance, project finance, real estate finance, and securitization, includingthe first deals of those types in Japan.

Additionally, his other area of expertise is in the resolution of financialdisputes by way of out-of-court negotiation and settlement. Resolvingdisputes involving specialized and complicated financial transactionsoften requires profound knowledge and understanding of financialproducts (including derivatives, structuring techniques, regulatoryaspects and so on) as well as market practices. There are very few courtprecedents dealing directly with such complicated disputes, so litigatingthese disputes in court would not always lead to an appropriateresolution. Rather, negotiating among the parties to the dispute and theircounsel who is familiar with the financial transactions in dispute canfacilitate a resolution which has due regard to the circumstances behindthe transactions and which would be satisfactory to all the parties. MrUeno has handled various types of structured finance transactions andcomplicated regulatory matters, and has gained extensive experience inrelation to those areas. He has sufficient knowledge to appropriatelyresolve financial disputes because of such experience. He has assistedmany clients in resolving difficult financial disputes.

Also, troublesome circumstances may sometimes occur to financetransactions. On many occasions, he has advised on the restructuring offinance transactions that are facing difficulties and might otherwise gointo default.

Mr Ueno graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1984 with an LLBand earned an LLM from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in1991. He is admitted to practice in Japan and New York State. He hasauthored various articles on Japanese management buy-out transactions,project finance, and syndicated loans. Furthermore, as an internationaleditor (Tokyo) for the Journal of Banking and Finance Law and Practice(an Australian journal), he has written a number of pieces on thedevelopment of Japan's finance-related law.

Nishimura & Asahi provides a wide range of services in the area ofbanking and finance. For example, the firm engages in securitization in allasset classes, fields and structural features. The firm also deals with realestate finance (including the formation of real estate funds and REITs),nonrecourse loans, and issuances of asset backed securities as well asregulatory matters. The firm advises on creating deal structures, solvinglegal issues, negotiating with various parties and regulatory authorities inJapan and overseas, and preparing and drafting many varieties ofdocuments from contracts to regulatory documents with the aim ofdevising the market standard, and is actively contributing to thedevelopment of structured finance transactions.

Recently, Dan advised Anthem in its terminated US$54.2 billionagreement to acquire Cigna Corporation, a combination that garneredfront-page coverage for more than six years and involved extensivecoordination of a White & Case team of cross-practice lawyers inM&A, antitrust, litigation and bank finance. The transaction was thelargest ever proposed in managed care and the first merger agreementin the industry that resulted from a public “bear hug” approach. Dan’srole as lead M&A counsel to Anthem required him to oversee andcoordinate an extensive multi-practice team at White & Case, whichincluded its Commercial Litigation practice leading a high-stakesfront-page appellate dispute with Cigna in the Delaware SupremeCourt over payment of a US$1.85 billion reverse termination fee. TheWhite & Case Commercial Litigation team achieved victory in theDelaware Court of Chancery for Anthem, Inc. in a trial against formermerger partner Cigna, as the Court determined that Cigna breachedthe Merger Agreement and relieved Anthem of the obligation to paythe US$1.85 billion contractual termination fee. Anthem also defeatedeach of Cigna’s claims. This landmark victory was the result of threeyears of hard-fought litigation between the parties, resulting in thelongest decision ever issued by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Dan was also instrumental in overseeing and coordinating Anthem’sdefense against the US DOJ’s high-profile antitrust challenge to themerger, which included a trial before the US District Court, an appealbefore the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia—DCCircuit (which set a new procedural precedent as the first merger caseto receive an expedited appeal there), and filing a petition to the USSupreme Court for writ of certiorari.

Masahiro Ueno is a partner at Nishimura & Asahi. His areas of expertiseare in securities, finance and banking law with an emphasis on structuredfinance. He has advised on numerous transactions relating to M&Afinance, project finance, real estate finance, and securitization, includingthe first deals of those types in Japan.

Additionally, his other area of expertise is in the resolution of financialdisputes by way of out-of-court negotiation and settlement. Resolvingdisputes involving specialized and complicated financial transactionsoften requires profound knowledge and understanding of financialproducts (including derivatives, structuring techniques, regulatoryaspects and so on) as well as market practices. There are very few courtprecedents dealing directly with such complicated disputes, so litigatingthese disputes in court would not always lead to an appropriateresolution. Rather, negotiating among the parties to the dispute and theircounsel who is familiar with the financial transactions in dispute canfacilitate a resolution which has due regard to the circumstances behindthe transactions and which would be satisfactory to all the parties. MrUeno has handled various types of structured finance transactions andcomplicated regulatory matters, and has gained extensive experience inrelation to those areas. He has sufficient knowledge to appropriatelyresolve financial disputes because of such experience. He has assistedmany clients in resolving difficult financial disputes.

Also, troublesome circumstances may sometimes occur to financetransactions. On many occasions, he has advised on the restructuring offinance transactions that are facing difficulties and might otherwise gointo default.

Mr Ueno graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1984 with an LLBand earned an LLM from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in1991. He is admitted to practice in Japan and New York State. He hasauthored various articles on Japanese management buy-out transactions,project finance, and syndicated loans. Furthermore, as an internationaleditor (Tokyo) for the Journal of Banking and Finance Law and Practice(an Australian journal), he has written a number of pieces on thedevelopment of Japan's finance-related law.

Nishimura & Asahi provides a wide range of services in the area ofbanking and finance. For example, the firm engages in securitization in allasset classes, fields and structural features. The firm also deals with realestate finance (including the formation of real estate funds and REITs),nonrecourse loans, and issuances of asset backed securities as well asregulatory matters. The firm advises on creating deal structures, solvinglegal issues, negotiating with various parties and regulatory authorities inJapan and overseas, and preparing and drafting many varieties ofdocuments from contracts to regulatory documents with the aim ofdevising the market standard, and is actively contributing to thedevelopment of structured finance transactions.
