Civil Disputes Arising from Corporate Scandals
As a leader in the legal field, Nishimura & Asahi’s professionals diligently safeguard their clients’ interests by performing comprehensive factual investigations and legal research.
Lawsuits are often filed in the wake of corporate scandals. Some of the typical lawsuits include the following: shareholder lawsuits against the directors of the company for wrongdoing or breach of duty. that caused harm to the company; securities litigation instituted by holders of securities against listed companies and their directors for mismanagement that resulted in a decrease in the value of the securities; product liability lawsuits brought by consumers or other interested parties against manufacturers and those involved in the distribution chain for product defects; lawsuits brought by employees who are subject to disciplinary actions for unfair dismissal by their employers; and class action lawsuits against companies brought by groups of consumers with similar claims.
