Companies are the vanguard of capitalism. In particular, jusik hoesas (joint-stock companies), which are of a form selected by over 95% of all domestic companies, are key economic players in today’s economy. Disputes such as litigation and arbitration related to companies are thus on the rise, and the outcomes of such disputes have an ever greater impact on shareholders, management, and creditors.
Corporate litigation typically refers to litigation in which companies are parties or litigation in which legal issues under corporate laws are disputed. Because companies, unlike individuals, are legal persons with responsibilities and rights as recognized under laws, the types and resolution of disputes differ significantly from those of disputes between individuals. Even small-sized companies comprised of a single individual, or a few family members as shareholders, are corporations, and are subject to the special legal principles under corporate laws. Accordingly, regardless of the size of a company, company-related disputes cannot be handled under the general Civil Act approach, and must be dealt with by specialists knowledgeable in the areas of the Commercial Act and other special company-related laws.
