General Corporate

We advise our clients on all legal aspects of their corporate existence from formation and day-to-day business operations (including commercial contracts, debt collection), permits and regulations and liquidation.

Drawing on our profound knowledge in all business and industry sectors, we advise on all kinds of commercial projects, from the structuring of sales and distribution channels to drafting and negotiating commercial contracts such as sales and purchase framework agreements, agency agreements and distributorship agreements.

With our teams of highly specialized professionals, we have the expertise and resources to handle any corporate and commercial law matter regardless of size and complexity in a timely and efficient fashion. We have been recognized as one of Japan’s leading law firms in this area, and our clients range from major listed corporations to medium-sized and privately held companies and start-ups. Traditionally, we have a particularly strong base of foreign clients who specifically seek our expertise in guiding them through the Japanese legal and regulatory environment including comprehensive market-entry support.

We also maintain strong working relationships with top-tier law firms from around the world, and often work closely with foreign legal counsel to assist Japanese companies in matters involving overseas investments and/or other cross-border business ventures.
