Labor and Employment SERVICES

Our firm primarily provides diverse legal support and strategic advice to corporate clients on labor and personnel matters tailored to their specific needs.

Main Services

Labor Disputes

Leveraging our extensive expertise in litigation and dispute resolution, our attorneys well-versed in labor law represent clients in various legal proceedings, including labor lawsuits, labor tribunal proceedings, and mediation.
Based on our deep experience in such disputes, we provide swift and optimal advice when issues arise within a company that carry the risk of developing into a formal conflict. We frequently handle matters such as:
・Disciplinary actions, dismissals, and encouragement of resignation for problematic employees
・Disadvantageous changes to working conditions, such as wage reductions
・Occupational accidents and mental health-related issues

We also have extensive experience in conducting internal investigations when suspicions of employee misconduct or harassment arise, and we support corporate clients in collective bargaining and other interactions with labor unions.

Personnel System Reforms

We support companies of various sizes and industries in their daily labor and personnel-related consultations. As part of such service, we provide continuous support for personnel system reforms that reflect recent trends, such as work-style reforms and job-based employment, as well as the creation and review of employment rules and various documents. Given the frequent legislative changes and evolving judicial precedents in the field of labor law, we are always attentive to providing advice based on the latest legal insights.
