Crisis Management & Disute Resolution

showHeader

Under an age of legal compliance and corporate social responsibility, if corporations should mismanage crises and disputes, they would suffer significant legal and reputation damages. In order to avoid these damages, businesses need to carefully manage their disputes and crises.

We help corporations to effectively solve disputes as their legal representatives and advisors through various ways including:

  • Negotiation

  • Mediation

  • Arbitration

  • Litigation

We also support corporations in managing various type of crises including:

  • Data Breach 

  • Cyber Incident

  • Defamation

  • Product Liability

  • Accident Compensation

  • Business Crimes

Moreover, we protect corporations from the threat of the Yakuza, Japanese criminal syndicates. Businesses are strictly required to cut off any relations with Yakuza in Japan. We help corporations smoothly cut ties with Yakuza and its affiliates.
