Nishimura & Asahi has advised Japan’s Rakuten Securities Holdings on its sale of a 20 percent stake to Mizuho Securities.

Through the deal, Mizuho hopes to tap Rakuten Securities' online brokerage expertise and its relatively young clientele at a time of stiff competition for traditional face-to-face brokerage services, Reuters reported.

The Nishimura team was led by partners Atsushi Mizushima, Yotaro Takayama, Yasutaka Nishikori, Naoya Ariyoshi, Akihiro Shiba and Kazumaro Kobayashi.
