      Legal & Company Secretary

      Increasingly complex international and domestic legal systems have made legal officers a critical part of business growth.

      As regulation intensifies across nearly every industry and technology continues to evolve faster than the law, Company Secretaries must defend their company from competitors and regulators, whilst leveraging the law to the full advantage of the business.

      Business growth is increasingly tied to technological advances, mergers and acquisitions, and international expansion. To facilitate growth and defend their business in an increasingly litigious environment, senior legal leaders have been moved out of the backroom to become strategic advisors to the CEO and board.

      Japan

      Odgers Berndtson’s Legal Practice operates across the world, working closely with organisations, from start-ups to leading global multinationals, to identify and develop legal leaders. Through our global network of legal experts and industry-specific consultants, we support organisations like yours in securing senior legal officers with experience to tackle the increasing volume and complexity of international and domestic law and regulation.

      In Japan, specifically, the need for bilingual, legal leadership talent can often create a narrowly-defined search. Our track record lists some of the most prestigious hires in legal leadership in Japan.
