Against the backdrop of the realization for greater corporate compliance in recent years, the importance of establishing and implementing governance systems and risk management protocols is increasing every day. &nbsp;In the event of a business-critical situation, crucial management decisions are paramount and must be implemented within a short timeframe, such as determining the initial crisis response with relevant parties and whether or not to disclose information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0Mr. Taniguchi has been involved in the development of internal controls and compliance systems, initial crisis response protocols in the event of misconduct and investigations into large-scale misconduct of listed and unlisted companies, as well as lawsuits involving companies, such as the case where a company pursues liabilities for the failure of an officer to perform his or her duties, and derivative actions in connection with these civil actions. He is also well versed in responding to critical situations born out of the increase of ransomware attacks in recent years. Furthermore, he handles a wide range of matters such as commercial non-contentious litigations, management rights disputes (including representing the side of minority shareholders), and various kinds of mergers and acquisitions matters.
