Hiromasa Ohashi and Jeff Horn began their relationship as aggressive competitors.  But while working together for a nonprofit organization, they recognized a shared work ethic and commitment to excellence.  They also recognized that the hierarchical, bureaucratic structures of the large law firms they worked for hindered their ability to offer services customized to the unique needs of their clients.  They decided to create a highly-focused boutique firm so they could concentrate more on results and less on process and Ohashi & Horn LLP was born. Since then, Ohashi & Horn LLP has counseled well over 100 multi-national public and private companies in a wide range of industries including electronics, finance, chemicals, telecommunications, consulting, software, manufacturing, petroleum, trading, energy, and real estate regarding a wide range of matters including establishing and maintaining intellectual property licensing and enforcement programs; the tax, liability, and operational considerations associated with conducting operations in the United States; acquisitions of U.S. assets and securities; structuring strategic joint ventures and partnerships; various labor and employment matters including workforce reductions and complex trade secret, confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation issues and disputes; U.S. corporate governance issues, fiduciary duties and methods for dealing with dissident board members and stockholders; and various complex commercial litigation matters.
