Principal Areas of Practice
Bankruptcy and Insolvency

Anderson Mori & Tomotsune has extensive experience providing advice on all aspects of insolvency proceedings under Japanese law.

Anderson Mori & Tomotsune regularly advises and issues legal opinions to clients on creditor rights issues in bankruptcy liquidation (hasan), corporate reorganization (kaisha kosei) and civil rehabilitation (minji saisei) proceedings, both in pre-application projects to design bankruptcy remote structures for such transactions as M&A, and netting and stock lending and other security arrangements, as well as post-application submission of creditor claims to maximize recovery.

Our firm also represents investors seeking to restructure and rehabilitate distressed companies or businesses in insolvency, including a substantial practice involving DIP (debtor-in-possession) financing projects.

Although the firm typically represents creditor banks and other financial institutions in these matters, Anderson Mori & Tomotsune attorneys have also served as bankruptcy trustees for Japanese companies.


Significant Bankruptcy and Insolvency Projects we Have Handled:

Assisting/advising financial institutions on financing made to insolvent borrowers, including, without limitation, DIP finance matters.
Advising financial institutions with regard to the establishment of and/or participation in corporate rehabilitation funds.
