Banking & Finance: Domestic Asset Finance

Our team regularly assists renowned banks and financial institutions with various types of significant banking transactions, including asset financing, acquisition financing, and corporate and syndicated loans. Our team has the largest asset financing practice team in Japan, which regularly advises major Japanese leasing companies on various types of leasing transactions that include aircraft financing, ship financing, container leasing transactions and plant facilities leasing.

With respect to acquisition financing, a remarkable aspect that differentiates our team from other law firms is that our team has been providing advice not only to the financier side (i.e., banks and other financial institutions) but also to the borrower side. Indeed, our important clients in this practice area include domestic and international private equity funds actively making investments and borrowing money therefor in the sphere of acquisition financing. Another defining aspect of our team is that our key clients in this practice area include regional banks as well as major banks and financial institutions. Our team has been assisting many regional banks with various types of transactions, including corporate and syndicated loans and consolidation of regional banks. Recently, our team expanded its practice into the field of FinTech, where we assisted a start-up venture with its IPO.
