LEGAL ADVICE FOR COMPANIES

1. Legal advice for companies

Because you need a lawyer with whom you can consult for companies on a daily basis? First you need to consider that a lawyer is not only for trials. There are several occasions that legal consultation is needed for companies apart from a representative for lawsuits in court. Problems need to be solved before you make lawsuits or several procedures in the court. Doing paperwork in the cut takes a long time, requires a lot of effort and tasks, and is expensive. That is, it would be better to solve legal issues before a legal problem would increase to the problem that needs to be solved in the court.

Companies have legal matters against various people and organizations, for example, customers, employees, companies with which you have a business relationship, etc. It is important to handle everyday legal matters so that they do not increase to a big problem.

2. Advice for contracts

Companies make many types of contracts. Advice on contracts is one of the most common and basic legal advice for companies. To solve problems, the contract is very important. However, some companies do business without contracts or other type of formal document. Or even if they make a contract, there are many insufficient contracts. Or some companies don't think written contracts are crucial. If once a contract is signed, this contract is crucial and basically you cannot insist on opinions that do not conform to this contract. Therefore, signing a written contract is very significant. To protect the rights of companies and to avoid problems in the future, making a good and adequate contract is very important. After signing the contract, legally you can't do anything else basically. Therefore, it is necessary to consider and examine the content of the contract in detail carefully from a legal point of view before signing it. Nor can he do good legal action when I didn't make a contract for business.

3. Compliance with laws and regulations

There are many laws that regulate companies. The Unjustifiable Premium Prevention Act "Keihin Hyouji Ho" and Misleading Statements and the Personal Data Protection Act "Kojin Jojo Hogo Ho", for example, needs to be complied with by almost all companies. The Law on the Prevention of Unjustifiable Premiums regulates two main issues: one that regulates unfair advertising to consumers and another that prohibits excessive premiums in sales to consumers. The Personal Data Protection Act mainly stipulates the rules for the processing of personal data and other information.

Also, there are several laws that each company must comply with for its sector. For example, temporary employment companies must comply with the Worker Dispatch Law "Rodosha Haken Ho", transport companies must comply with the Truck and Automobile Transport Companies Law "Kamotsu Jidosha Unso Jigyo Ho", construction companies must comply with the Construction Industry Law "Kensetsu Gyo Ho" and real estate companies must comply with the Lot and Building Transaction Business Act "Takuchi Tatemono Torihiki Gyo Ho".

Failure to comply with these laws may result in fines, suspension of operations or revocation of commercial licenses. It is often too late to deal with these problems once they have occurred, and it is necessary to be familiar with the law on a regular basis.

4. Improvement of the work environment and resolution of labor conflicts

Properly managing the work of employees in accordance with the laws, creating a good work environment for employees and maintaining good relations between the company and its employees are important issues for all companies. There is a wide range of legal issues related to labor management. In addition, the laws that regulate labor management are updated frequently, so it is necessary to keep up to date with legislative developments. If labor management is not done correctly, various problems can arise with employees. Legal conflicts over labor issues, such as litigation over the nullity of a dismissal, claims for overtime pay, claims for damages related to accidents at work, harassment, such as harassment of power, maternity harassment, sexual harassment, etc., are diverse and occur frequently. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to draw up labor contracts and adequate employment regulations, manage working hours in accordance with labor laws and regulations, guarantee the safety of workers in the workplace and know the measures to prevent harassment on a daily basis.

5. Collection of credits

For companies, the collection of credits as a result of a transaction is, of course, crucial. If a company negotiates, but does not collect its accounts receivable, it does not make sense from an economic point of view and, in some cases, can be fatal for the company's operations.

Making evidence about transactions is very crucial. Making proper written contracts prior to the transaction is crucial as I explained earlier. Even if it has not been possible to draw up a written contract, it is still valid if there is evidence, for example, emails.

For the problem of collecting credits, the phase of choosing the right partner with whom to do business is important. If you choose a business partner that is going bankrupt in the near future, it would be almost impossible to collect the credits. Even with the contract and adequate evidence, it is impossible to recover the other party's money if the other party really does not have it. To avoid this mistake, you need to know the partner with whom you do business in advance. To know the company you do business with, there are several basic ways. Certain information can be obtained simply by consulting the commercial register and the property registry, for example.

For counterparties with uncertain financial resources, one approach is to establish a guarantee or a guarantee.

6. Other topics

There are many other legal issues related to companies. Some companies have to manage intellectual property rights such as patents, copyrights and trademarks, maintain trade secrets, manage the protection of personal data, etc.

Even in the business creation phase, there are several legal issues.

Unfortunately, some companies have to consider the possibility of closing. Closing a company also requires legal procedures.

As already mentioned, there are a number of legal issues affecting companies. It is not enough to consult or request the services of a lawyer only when something goes wrong or when you have problems. One way to ensure that your company develops solidly and healthily is to think about the law on a regular basis.
