Employment and Labor
Japanese corporations today operate in an environment of intensifying labor shortages brought on by a shrinking workforce, diversifying employee values, and a government-led transition to the implementation of working style reforms. These trends demand dynamic changes in every company’s culture, climate, and overall approach to employment.
To continue growing, corporations must secure and cultivate superior personnel, and an essential prerequisite for achieving this goal is human resource management, including the appropriate evaluation, assignment and treatment of personnel. Kitahama Partners provides legal advice and has built a strong track record in the field of employment and labor law, allowing us to support the continuous growth of our many clients.
