Bengo4.com to Acquire Majority Stake in Legal Expenses Insurer MIKATA

Bengo4.com, Inc. ( (JP:6027) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Bengo4.com, Inc. has resolved to acquire a majority stake in MIKATA Small Amount Short Term Insurance Co., Ltd., Japan’s pioneering standalone legal expenses insurer, making it a consolidated subsidiary subject to regulatory approval. By purchasing up to 49,266 shares for a maximum of ¥2.955 billion and securing 67% of voting rights after conversion of preferred shares, Bengo4.com aims to strengthen its legal infrastructure offerings and tackle the “20% justice” issue where most citizens facing legal problems do not seek professional help.

MIKATA, founded in 2011 and based in Tokyo, has grown as the leading player in legal expenses insurance, improving access to justice by covering initial legal and court costs that often deter individuals from pursuing claims. Bengo4.com expects the deal to generate broad synergies, including enhanced product functions, accelerated sales through its customer base, and deeper use of combined AI and legal know-how under its Legal Brain initiative, potentially reinforcing its position in the legal-tech and insurtech space while addressing a significant social issue in Japan.
