Our Services for Financial Institutions
We advise financial institutions on the full range of legal issues they face. This includes issues arising at sales offices (e.g., customer complaints, operational errors), documentation and formation of legal structures for syndicated loans and sustainable finance, issues related to exit strategies, credit management and debt collection, and handling insolvencies and business rehabilitations. We also advise the head office management of financial institutions on the major issues they face in their planning.
In particular, we have provided comprehensive and highly specialized advice on critical issues that affect the core of the management of financial institutions, such as large-scale integration and reorganization of financial institutions, establishment of financial holding companies, formulation of, and advice on, disposal schemes for failed financial institutions, and disposal of non-performing loans.
We have extensive experience in procedures for credit management and debt collection, ranging from provisional remedies to litigation and enforcement. In addition, we have a proven track record of representing financial institutions in disputes on a wide range of matters, including withdrawal of deposits and sale of financial products, in out-of-court negotiations, litigation, mediation, and financial ADR. We also provide high-level advice and practical documentation services from the perspective of preventing legal disputes, leveraging our wide range of experience in dispute resolution and transactional advice.
Iwata Godo also has extensive experience in advising and representing financial institutions in the termination of transactions with anti-social forces. In the midst of globalization of financial transactions, increasing complexity of financial products and marketing channels as well as continuing diversification of management structures in financial institutions, we will continue to provide advice and representation that meets the needs of clients, making the most of our accumulated know-how and experience, expertise, and legal insight.
