With the globalization of corporate activities and changes in social values, the level of compliance required of companies is increasing. Scandals in particular can instantly destroy a company’s credibility and pose a serious risk that threatens the very survival of the business.
In addition to providing preventive legal services to prevent scandals from occurring, our firm also provides support based on our extensive experience in dealing with post-incident issues in the event of a scandal occurring.
In preventive legal affairs, we support the creation of a strong governance system by formulating internal regulations tailored to each company’s circumstances, rather than simply creating formal rules, conducting training for executives and employees, and supporting the creation and operation of an effective internal reporting system (helpline) (including external contact point operations).
In post-incident responses, the “initial response” can determine the fate of a company. Our firm supports rapid crisis management responses based on our extensive experience. We provide consistent support throughout the process from the occurrence of a crisis to restoring trust, from fact-finding (internal investigations and the establishment and management of third-party committees), dealing with supervisory authorities, dealing with the media (support for press conferences), and formulating effective measures to prevent recurrence.
