Financial Regulation

Since its formation, Atsumi & Sakai has advised banks, securities companies, insurance companies, trust banks, investment management companies, and other financial institutions, both domestic and foreign, on financial regulatory laws, such as the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, the Banking Act, the Insurance Business Act, the Trust Business Act, and the Money Lending Business Act.  In addition, many of our lawyers have spent time at leading banks, financial institutions, and regulators so enabling us to approach problems from both a practical and legal standpoint, and with a knowledge of the nuances of the regulatory environment.


Our track record includes advising on:

  • Acquisition of licenses, permits, approvals, and registrations
  • Internal management and compliance functions
  • Risk management
  • Negotiations with supervisory authorities and self-regulatory organizations
  • Examination responses
  • Structure and design of new financial transactions and products
  • Drafting of customer terms and conditions.

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.
