Taisuke Kimoto and Aaron Lewis Named LA Times Business of Law Visionaries

LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Times has named Taisuke Kimoto and Aaron Lewis as “Visionaries” in its business of law feature recognizing standout law firm attorneys.

A partner in Covington’s Los Angeles office, Tai co-leads the firm’s Japan Practice, which advises a number of Japan's largest corporations as well as individuals, trade associations and governmental agencies on their most sensitive and complex legal challenges in the United States, Europe, China, and elsewhere. Drawing upon his long-standing relationships and robust business and legal networks in Japan, Taisuke serves as an ambassador of the firm to the Japanese business community and to global companies with interests in the Japanese market.

Aaron is a partner in Covington’s Los Angeles office and serves as co-chair of the firm’s White Collar Defense and Investigations Practice Group. General counsel and boards of directors frequently call on Aaron to conduct their most sensitive internal investigations and to defend their businesses in serious enforcement matters. Few recent developments have had a greater impact on public companies and their boards of directors than the increasing number of shareholder proposals calling for civil rights or racial equity assessments. Aaron is a leader and innovator in this rapidly evolving frontier at the intersection of ESG and traditional internal investigations.
