HR & Labor

Against the backdrop of a shrinking workforce and the increased utilization of foreign talent, the HR and labor field is undergoing a period of significant transformation. This includes responding to work-style reforms and diverse working arrangements, as well as revising personnel systems to align with global standards.
Our firm has tackled labor issues for a broad range of clients, including foreign-affiliated companies, from a management perspective. Drawing on this expertise, we handle not only domestic HR system design, but also international system design and cross-border labor compliance. Furthermore, we provide consistent support, from advising on harassment, dismissals, and changes to working conditions to collective bargaining and litigation response, reliably providing practical support for the sustainable development of our domestic and international clients.
