In the traditional Japanese society and economy, conflict resolution and prevention relied largely on human relations and administrative regulations, with the application of law through contracts and judicial procedures playing a secondary role. It was just a given.
However, the opposite is true in Europe and the United States, and as Japan increases its transactions with foreign countries, it accumulates experience that does not work in the Japanese way, and deregulates and structurally reforms Japanese society itself, making it more free and competitive. Values that desire a society and economy with equal opportunities are becoming widespread, and it has become a common recognition that laws and contracts are essential infrastructure for such a society and economy.
Companies are increasingly required to act legally, and failure to do so may result in liability issues for themselves and their management. On the other hand, by using laws and contracts, companies can protect their rights and develop their business. It has also become easier to achieve this. As the role expected of the judiciary grows, laws are enacted and amended one after another, and the risk of litigation increases. In the new economic society of the 21st century, where the basic principles are more complete free competition, equal opportunity, and minimal government involvement, companies need to respond appropriately to legal issues and contribute to the preservation and development of their operations. Our firm's basic stance is to provide comprehensive legal services.
