Our Insurance practice is a sub-group of Financial Institutions Industry Group, comprising of lawyers from various practices, mainly from Corporate/M&A and Banking & Finance practice groups.
We work with major international and local insurers and reinsurers, captives, insurance intermediaries, and self-regulatory bodies on corporate transactions (M&As/JVs), commercial transactions, as well as non-transactional work, including top-tier insurers' alternative investments (e.g., investments into renewable energy projects) in multiple jurisdictions, post-merger integration/restructuring/reorganization of major insurers' overseas businesses, as well as compliance advice and representation in disputes. Our insurance team has extensive experience assisting the insurance industry with acquisitions, investments and market issues as well as addressing its operational and regulatory needs. The team also routinely provides advice on the assessment and mitigation of risks and exposures arising from mergers, acquisitions, corporate transactions and risks facing alternative asset investors. The team of fully bilingual bengoshi and gaiben serve as natural intermediaries between the Japanese clients and their foreign counterparts. The group also provides insurance regulatory advice on a regional or multijurisdictional basis for regulatory compliance purposes, subsidiary administration as well as introduction of new products.
