Our founding attorney, Kaoru Haraguchi, gave a lecture about sexual harassment and workplace harassment (abuse of authority at work) at one of the companies he serves as an advisor. Giving familiar examples, he outlined what kind of issues lie behind the act of harassment and how both the company and individual offender would become responsible, and presented fundamental legal knowledge and the possible solution to prevent such harassment.
We will continue to commit ourselves to help prevent and settle harassment conflicts with high-quality legal advice so that all our clients can enjoy better working environments.

It is our sincere desire to serve as a bridge between Japan and Thailand, and other ASEAN countries with Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra’s guidance.
