| Corporate legal services cover the
following areas of corporate activities: management and
governance structure of corporation (compliance and governance);
founding of corporations; the restructuring of corporations
such as mergers, partitions and acquisitions; drafting
and negotiation of contracts for sales transactions and
projects; credit management and credit collection (bankruptcy
proceedings and enforcement of security); acquisition
and management of intellectual property rights; the settlement
of disputes with counterparts or consumers. The roles
of corporate legal services have become increasingly important;
they have shifted and developed from clinical legal services
dealing with accidents and cases to preventative legal
services mainly consisting of legal research and drafting
of contracts, and further to strategic legal services
which is closely related to corporate management. Learn
how to negotiate and draft contracts and acquire the abilities
to grasp a variety of legal issues facing the company
and identify the legal solutions to deal with the problems
using civil, commercial and economic laws. It is crucial
for future lawyers to understand the totality of corporate
legal services and to acquire practical skills. With thirty
yearsEexperience working for the legal department of
a general trade company, I aspire to offer lectures and
seminars based on actual cases. |

To law school students aspiring to
become legal professionals in the future:
Lawyers of the 21st century are faced with more complex
legal issues than ever before, and tax law service is
one of those major issues. When people engage in private
legal transactions, they are interested not just in issues
related to private law but in how they are affected under
tax law as well. Failure to deal with tax law issues beforehand
may cause an unexpected taxation problem; a well-meant
attempt may bring about a hideous tax burden. Thus, through
courses in tax law, I intend to help students realize
the importance of dealing with legal issues appropriately
by giving concrete illustrations of how the issues under
private law are linked to taxation issues. For example,
in invoking acquisition prescriptions in real estates,
the subject of occasional income taxation arises.
Why don’t you aim to become a lawyer with expertise in
taxes? |

| The number of lawsuits for infringement of intellectual property rights filed before district courts has doubled in the last ten years. The government set up the Strategic Council on Intellectual Property in 2002 with Prime Minister as its head. It released Strategic Program for the Creation, Protection and Exploitation of Intellectual Property in July 2003, marking the beginning of the serious efforts to make Japan “a country built on intellectual property “Inovation” has been our slogan recently. Now experts such as intellectual property lawyers are demanded nationwide. In such a rapidly changing environment, there is a significant shortage of experts. In this sense, there is a chance to make a great leap forward. Intellectual property law consists of industrial property law, copyright law, unfair competition prevention law, etc. At a glance, it would seem to require an extensive understanding of law, but in fact, each area relates to each other, so a comprehensive and systematic understanding of intellectual property law is not so difficult. Intellectual Property Law Courses will be interactive and use great deal of interesting examples and case-studies. |
