On March 13, 2026, Long Black Partners Co., Ltd. (hereafter LBP) held the "2nd Business Revitalization Conference" at The Prince Park Tower Tokyo (Minato-ku, Tokyo).
This conference was held with the aim of gathering professionals involved in the practice of business revitalization, such as financial institutions and lawyers, under the theme of business revitalization support for small and medium-sized enterprises, to discuss and exchange views on practical issues related to recent business revitalization.
On the day of the event, participants included nationwide banks, shinkin banks, and government-affiliated financial institutions (about 60 companies, 100 people), as well as many lawyers specializing in business revitalization from various law firms (about 50 people), providing a venue for practitioners involved in the frontline of business revitalization to share their knowledge.
■ Keynote Speech: Trends in recent business revitalization cases, the Early Business Revitalization Act, and corporate value security rights
In the first part, a keynote speech was delivered by LBP under the theme of "Early Business Revitalization".
The presentation pointed out the issue that, against the backdrop of the excessive debt problem after the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many cases where the revitalization process is prolonged without a clear exit strategy after formulating a management improvement plan. Additionally, issues were raised regarding the increase in sponsor-type revitalization cases and the lengthening period required for sponsor transfers.
Based on this situation, the importance of financial institutions, lawyers, and external experts collaborating to consider the direction of revitalization from an early stage, as well as the significance of utilizing public-private revitalization funds, were demonstrated.
Following this, Mr. Nobuaki Kobayashi, a lawyer from Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu, gave a lecture themed "The Early Business Revitalization Act and Corporate Value Security Rights", explaining the future outlook for business revitalization practices based on the new law scheduled to be enforced this year.
■ Individual Sessions: Discussions by practical theme
