Most of our private transactions include an element of global expansion. This year, more than ever before, it's a vital strategic advantage for American companies to seek markets elsewhere. And in our view, opportunities for expansion exist like never before on a global scale -- often just out of sight and reach from your competitors.

That's why at Pacific Rim Partners creative vision is not only prized, it's actively fostered in every member of our firm. PRP people are urged to see and think beyond the horizon; to anticipate the implications of emerging technologies and trends; to detect hidden interdependencies between global markets; to identify critical relationships.

Our definition of an effective professional is one who understands not only where value and opportunity are today, but where they will be and won't be tomorrow. We consider such breadth and depth of understanding an essential ingredient in effective advisory, business development, and investment services.

Cross-border transactions between the US and Asia, for example, can be a source of enormous shareholder wealth creation if conducted properly -- particularly deals done between the US and Japan. In fact, while many US businesses are scrambling to cash in on the China boom, we quietly introduce many of our clients to the boardrooms of a much larger and more sophisticated marketplace, one nearly overlooked in the US today: Japan.

Because of our significant relationships with large Japanese blue-chip corporations, we particularly excel at structuring elegant cross-border transactions including non-equity based alliances (distributorships, licensee agreements, OEM deals), developing and acquiring wholly owned subsidiaries, and forming joint-ventures, including those utilizing company split transactions, share-for-share exchanges, as well as structures only recently allowed by the METI Law on Special Measures for Industrial Revitalization.

There has never been a time to consider your options for expansion like there is today. Why not let us identify your opportunities in the Pacific Rim and create a plan you can execute?
