Cross-Border Insolvency and Family Cases
We generally handle cross-border insolvency in two types of situations: (1) when the bankrupt resides outside Japan but owns property in Japan, we advise clients on preserving and enforcing judgments against the property, and (2) when the bankrupt resides in Japan but owns property outside Japan, we collaborate with foreign law firms to preserve and enforce judgments against the property. Cross-border family cases are cases involving a citizen or resident of a foreign country, in which there may be procedures with government agencies or courts in other countries.
