I have worked with Monika on numerous corporate transactions at my previous firm. She is very experienced in corporate, commercial and intellectual property law. I highly recommend her expertise to any company looking for a counsel in corporate transactions especially cross-border mergers and acquisitions (including ones involving CFIUS filings) as well as strategic transactions involving valuable intellectual property. Not only she is skillful and knowledgeable but she also treats her clients with utmost care and diligence. She is always willing to put that extra help for clients whenever they need. I cannot recommend Monika highly enough!

Monika has a very promising law career ahead of her. She was a summer associate at the Tokyo office of White & Case, where I am an associate in the M&A/Corporate practice group, and she immediately stood out for her truly bilingual English and Japanese language ability, exceptional work ethic, and attention to detail in producing first rate work product. I worked directly with Monika in connection with documenting and structuring a cross-border joint venture to promote and sell an innovative e-commerce product in the Japanese market. I assigned her the tasks of reviewing the initial draft joint venture agreement (which was substantial both in length and compexity); preparing a list of legal and commercial issues that could be used to facilitate internal discussion as well as in advising the client; and proposing additional contractual provisions or language that would be favorable to the client but also commercially reasonable within the context of the transaction. I was impressed with Monika's ability to grasp the nuances of the agreement and the transaction as a whole, and to both show initiative and follow instructions in completing the assignment. Above all else, Monika is to be commended for maintaining a positive attitude and sense of humor at all times. I highly recommend Monika and believe that she will contribute greatly in any legal environment in which she is given the opportunity to showcase her unique combination of analytical and interpersonal skills.
