Insurance

About

Provided by Nishimura & Asahi

We advise on a wide range of insurance regulatory matters including applications for insurance business licenses, sales regulations (including bancassurance regulations), and responses to inspections by supervisory agencies. We have attorneys who have worked at the Financial Service Agency (FSA) and we have experience in requesting the FSA to amend regulations on behalf of clients.

We hold an impressive record of achieving excellent results for our clients in complex insurance (including both primary insurance and reinsurance) disputes and litigation matters of every kind, such as insurance coverage disputes concerning insurance policies. In particular, we are very experienced in advising on reinsurance disputes.

We offer a broad range of legal services relevant to insurance companies in the areas of M&A, demutualisations, the incorporation of branches of foreign insurance companies and the transfer of insurance contracts. Recently, we had the opportunity to handle a number of cross-border M&A transactions, both inbound and outbound.
