Corporate Governance

Japan’s corporate governance regime has been significantly strengthened in recent years, most notably by the introduction of a Corporate Governance Code. Corporate governance is a "multidimensional equation" that encompasses not only compliance with laws and regulations centered on the Companies Act, but also corporate philosophy, business strategy, organizational development, human resources, internal authority gradients, and cross-cultural understanding.

Our services include:

Internal governance audits
Advising on best practices and compliance with the Corporate Governance Code
Compliance training
Establishing internal rules
Working with a network of professionals from other disciplines to provide a comprehensive service for compliance with legal, accounting, HR, and other requirements

When advising foreign clients, our firm can field a team of expert Japanese lawyers and foreign lawyers who have relevant experience and bi-cultural sensitivity. Our team can do business and draft documents in Japanese, English, German, Mandarin, Hindi, Korean, and Marathi, and provides services around the clock through our global affiliated offices.
