Insurance
If there is a defect in a product, one mistake in the company’s response could cause serious damage to its reputation. In recent years, given way information spreads over the Internet, the handling of such issues has become more important than ever. In addition, with the acceleration of globalization, problems related to product defects are transcending national borders, with overseas administrative authorities often demanding that products be recalled or companies be held to account for defects in products exported overseas or imported into Japan. In light of such changes, Kitahama Partners has been engaged to handle numerous cases regarding product liability insurance and recall insurance, the importance of which is growing every day.
We also offer our clients appropriate advice on all types of insurance, including against information leaks and moral risks, facility and welfare liability insurance, and automobile insurance. We also provide the best practical support in response to the revision of the Insurance Business Act.
We have amassed a wealth of experience representing companies regarding incidents such as fire, water leaks, theft, and industrial accidents, and as an adviser to non-life insurance companies.
