Accounting Fraud / Insider Trading / Market Manipulation / Breaches of the Financial Instruments & Exchange Act

When fraudulent accounting procedures are performed and the financial statements contain material errors, an investigation by a third-party committee and correction of the financial statements may be required, and the company may be subject to penalties, including surcharge payment orders, criminal penalties, and delisting from the stock exchange. In addition, it will also be necessary to respond to securities lawsuits from shareholders and others, and to consider pursuing liability against directors and officers. We provide advice based on our extensive experience so that we can respond organically and flexibly to issues such as third-party committee investigations, responses to the Financial Services Agency and Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission, responses to listed securities exchanges, timely disclosure, litigation, and media relations.
