Restructuring

The success of our sizable insolvency practice stems from our broad experience representing different parties in bankruptcy disputes and claim collection activities. We act on behalf of debtors, creditors and financial advisors in all types of Japanese bankruptcy and reorganization proceedings, Turnaround ADR proceedings, out-of-court workouts, and pre-packaged rehabilitations involving listed companies and small and medium-sized enterprises. Our lawyers also serve as administrative receivers and trustees in bankruptcy proceedings.

We draw upon the expertise of our corporate, M&A and finance practices to navigate increasingly complex insolvency cases. We are consistently retained in pioneering transactions that integrate a variety of corporate, M&A and financing techniques with insolvency proceedings. These include corporate demergers, securitizations, debtor-in-possession financings, asset-backed lending, debt-equity swaps, debtor-in-possession-related corporate reorganizations, and simple rehabilitation schemes. The depth and breadth of our practice enable us to offer a comprehensive range of services for transactions and proceedings involving financially distressed companies.

Mori Hamada also acts as a one-stop law firm for international insolvency and restructuring cases, as well as for the withdrawal of Japanese companies from overseas businesses, by working in close collaboration with leading overseas law firms.
