| Tatsu Katayama is a partner at Anderson Mori & Tomotsune, whose areas of expertise are international banking, finance and securities matters on behalf of foreign clients. Our firm is regularly mentioned by legal periodicals, such as Chambers International and Euromoney, as one of the leading Japanese firms in regard to banking and finance and capital markets matters, and Mr. Katayama has been individually named as a leading lawyer in Japan in such areas. Mr. Katayama has particular expertise in securitization and the monetizing of assets including trade receivables, and is experienced in both the structuring of cross-border transactions in light of Japanese regulations and laws, as well as the intricacies of perfecting assignments of monetized assets where the obligors are located outside of Japan. Mr. Katayama often works together with overseas legal counsel on finance matters and is well accustomed to meeting the needs of overseas clients as well as foreign-subsidiary domestic clients. |
