Labor and Employment

Social Insurance and Labor Insurance

We provide advice and support in social insurance and labor insurance matters, areas which previously fell within the domain of qualified labor and social security attorneys (shakai hoken roumu shi). Issues that are frequently encountered include questions on the application of Japan’s social insurance and labor insurance systems to international companies and foreign persons. Our lawyers are familiar with the international treaties concerning social security and are able to provide professional advice on the matter.
