Securities Transactions, Disclosure, and Securities-related Litigation
We have a rock-solid track record in providing advice on fundraising by issuance and listing of securitized instruments such as:
- Shares
- Bonds
- REITs
- Investment trusts
- Covered bonds
- CLOs
through domestic and overseas public offerings and private placements and transactions on secondary markets. We also advise listed companies on legal disclosure documents such as securities registration statements and annual securities reports.
As financial instruments and transactions become more and more complex, disputes in the field are becoming more common and our securities team and litigation team have significant experience in handling domestic and cross-border securities litigation; more information can be found here.
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.
