Our firm has been involved with J-REITs since their inception, assisting in the formation and operation of numerous J-REITs. Our extensive experience covers establishing investment corporations and asset management companies, obtaining necessary licenses and permits, financing, property acquisitions, managing board meetings and investor general meetings, handling litigation and disputes related to real estate, and ensuring proper information disclosure. Additionally, we cover a wide array of services such as M&A, delisting, TOB, hostile takeovers responses, and business restructuring. We provide continuous advice not only to investment corporations and asset management companies but also to sponsors of investment corporations, underwriters for investment unit issuances by investment corporations, lenders providing funds to investment corporations, acquirers in J-REIT M&A transactions, financial advisors, and other clients. Moreover, drawing on our extensive expertise in J-REITs, we have been involved with open-end private REITs (commonly known as private REITs) since their inception, providing continuous advice to a diverse range of clients. We also regularly advise on regulatory issues encountered in the course of J-REIT and private REIT operations. J-REIT and private REIT projects demand experience and knowledge across various fields, such as applying for licenses and permits, trading real estate or trust beneficiary interests in real estate, issuing securities and other capital market transactions, M&A, responding to activists, and resolving real estate transaction disputes. Our firm has lawyers experienced in each of these areas who are adept at handling J-REIT and private REIT projects in a cross-disciplinary manner. Depending on the nature of the project and the type of involvement required, we can assemble appropriate and flexible teams to deliver high-quality services efficiently.
