Corporate

Corporations encounter many legal problems in their day-to-day business. Kitahama Partners provides solutions for clients operating in and on diverse industries, commercial scales, and business environments, and has built a strong track record providing services in the field of corporate law/Companies Act.

The Companies Act came into effect in 2005, was revised on 2014, and currently appears to be on the verge of another revision. Corporate law is thus a legal field that requires companies to keep abreast of sudden changes at all times. Our firm employs many professionals who have taught at universities and held public offices as specialists in the Companies Act. For years, we have been the proud home of many attorneys who lecture on corporate legal practice in the Faculty of Law at Kyoto University, and many attorneys who are appointed by the Ministry of Justice to serve on bar examiners committees responsible for commercial law. These practitioners provide comprehensive and professional services as specialists in corporate law and the Companies Act.
