In response to management crises faced by companies, such as poor business performance and worsening cash flow, our firm provides comprehensive legal support regarding business restructuring and bankruptcy procedures.

With regard to business revitalization, we propose and support the implementation of optimal revitalization schemes tailored to each company’s circumstances, such as organizational restructuring and the utilization of M&A, including sponsor selection. In addition, based on our many years of experience in a wide range of bankruptcy cases, corporate reorganization cases, and civil rehabilitation cases, we have established deep expertise in bankruptcy law and other insolvency laws and procedures, as well as practical know-how for appropriately handling complex cases.

In addition, our lawyers have been appointed by the courts as bankruptcy trustees in a number of bankruptcy cases, and have a track record of being involved in numerous bankruptcy cases from a neutral standpoint. From a practical and neutral perspective that takes both the debtor and creditor’s perspective, we are able to ensure the smooth progress of procedures and mediate between interested parties.

In business restructuring and bankruptcy, early response has a major impact on the outcome. We will work with business managers to consider the best path to reconstruction or appropriate liquidation, and provide consistent support right up to the implementation stage, while empathizing with their concerns. We also advise on practical measures to protect our clients’ interests, such as debt collection when facing the risk of a business partner going bankrupt, appropriate contract handling, and risk avoidance measures.
