24 Nishimura & Asahi Lawyers Named Thomson Reuters “Stand-out Lawyers 2024”
One of Japan's leading business revitalization practitioners who has taken the lead in many large-scale reconstruction projects in Japan. His motto is don’t be limited to conventional ideas and implementation.
Since becoming an attorney-at-law, I have been consistently engaged in bankruptcy and business revitalization practices. In legal arrangements, I have not only fulfilled the duties of a trustee, supervisor, etc., and been involved as a debtor's agent, but have also provided advice to creditors and sponsors that makes full use of such experience. Beyond legal liquidation, I have a reputation for taking the lead in restructuring in the early stages of the process, as well as Out of Court Informal Workouts. In recent years, I have also expanded my sphere of activity into the field of sports practice.
