Mr. Miyano's practice, through over 35 years of his professional carrier, covers really a wide range of areas, including general corporate, commercial transactions, M&A, labor issues and international finance (including securities issuance). He also handles litigations and other dispute solutions and crisis management for corporate clients. So, he is the real "general corporate" lawyer himself. Amongst his wide coverage of practice areas, he has been acting as a regular counsel for several medical device and pharmaceutical companies in Japan and also involved in many transactions relating to them (such as M&A, establishment of joint venture, etc.). He also represents many clients in the telecommunication business sector. He is also knowledgeable regarding restructuring of defaulted bonds (including sovereign bonds), the conducting of related bondholders' meetings.
