Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘Kenji Taneda is the lead partner at Skadden who is responsible for their capital markets practice. Kenji is by far the best US lawyer in Japan for global capital markets matters. He provides clarity on unclear situations, shows a rational path forward and pitches in to help execute on that process. We could not have executed our IPO without the guidance of Kenji and probably no other lawyer would have been able to support our process which involved creative thinking around disclosure for a new industry. Kenji is the clear go-to lawyer for us on US law matters.'
- 'Ken Kiyota is the counsel working on capital markets transactions at Skadden. While Ken is not a partner, his work and mentality resembles that of one. He is extremely knowledgeable about most capital markets issues and is ready to get in the trenches to move things along. Definitely would love to have him on our team anytime.’
