Finance
Rapid economic innovation has led to the expansion and diversification of capital needs, causing finance and capital markets to experience profound transformations in order to respond to these changing capital needs. As a result, various fund procurement methods and financial instruments have been developed, and broad legal, regulatory and systemic improvements have been advanced to support those developments. In addition, the globalization of economics has led inevitably to the globalization of finance.
These trends in financial innovation are expected to accelerate further going forward, and the legal skills demanded of our attorneys have become increasingly complex, increasingly specialized, and increasingly global in emphasis, requiring a high degree of specialized knowledge for the analysis of legal issues connected with financial transactions and the formulation of fund procurement strategies. Kitahama Partners is engaged in all financial fields and swiftly and correctly responds to our clients’ highly sophisticated requirements.
