Norfolk, Va., April 5 – Morgan Lewis announced that Shinjiro Takagi has joined the firm as of counsel in Tokyo, according to a press release.
Takagi is an international bankruptcy lawyer and former judge in Japan, as well as a former Nomura Securities adviser.
“We are very pleased to welcome Judge Takagi to our global team as we continue our strategic growth in Asia,” firm chair Jami McKeon said in the release.
“His distinguished background in the areas of insolvency and business revitalization in Japan, combined with his service on the bench, further strengthens our ability to serve the increasingly complex business and litigation needs of our clients in the region.”
Takagi served as the chair of the Industrial Revitalization Corp. of Japan (IRCJ) between 2003 and 2007, the firm said. He also led the restructuring task force for Japan Airlines in 2009 and served as reorganization trustee for Kyoei Life Insurance Co. in 2000. In addition, a former judge for the Tokyo High Court (court of appeals), Takagi was active in Southeast Asia as adviser to the Asian Bankers Association and as president of the East Asian Association of Insolvency and Restructuring.
“Judge Takagi is one of the foremost authorities on insolvency and restructuring law in Japan,” Tsugu Watanabe, managing partner of Morgan Lewis’s Tokyo office, added in the release.
“His background and experience dovetail perfectly with our Tokyo team’s focus on complex cross-border transactions, asset management regulation, and disputes.”
