Restructuring and reorganisation

Our services

Support for increasing your company's value

• Facing with drastic changes in business circumstances, many companies are struggling to increase their value by finding legal risks and mitigating them. However, such stopgap measures are not enough on their own. We work to accurately identify clients' important legal issues, even if such issues are not apparent to or acknowledged by the clients themselves.
• Our lawyers at PwC Legal Japan, who have extensive experience with finance, corporate/M&A, tax and other legal fields, provide legal support for companies aiming to increase their corporate value through revaluation and restructuring, by collaborating as necessary with tax, assurance, consulting or other professionals from the PwC Japan Group.
• Through various methods of early stage restructuring, such as out-of-court workouts, M&A, consolidation or liquidation of subsidiaries, transfer of business and voluntary early retirement of employees, we can help our clients concentrate their management resources on growth and highly profitable businesses. We also provide support for procuring the necessary funds, through refinancing, DIP (debtor-in-possession) finance and other means.
• In collaboration with other member firms of the PwC network, we can help you develop your restructuring plans, and to find and negotiate with new sponsors or investors who support such restructuring plans.
