RegTech and SupTech
It is becoming increasingly important to create a structure that takes into consideration the use of technology as part of regulatory responses in the finance sector. We support compliance and risk management activities undertaken by financial institutions to help them identify issues related to financial regulations and data protection, and coordinate with regulators on the use of technology and development of RegTech services by technology vendors.
When advising foreign clients, our firm can field a team of expert Japanese lawyers and foreign lawyers who have relevant experience and bi-cultural sensitivity. Our team can do business and draft documents in Japanese, English, German, Mandarin, Hindi, Korean, and Marathi, and provides services around the clock through our global affiliated offices.
