I need to change an eco-label certification, and I require corporate legal advisory regarding the procedure.

A product that our company manufactured had received eco-label certification, but this time, as we are replacing our production equipment, we must also obtain approval for a change to the eco-label certification. However, the procedure is more demanding than I expected. As a small-scale business operator, I am having difficulty with this kind of legal procedure, so I wonder whether I can resolve it if I receive corporate legal advisory.

My company has been designated as an administrative issue and is facing the risk of a company sale; what should I do?

It is a company I built with great effort, and the thought that it might be sold makes me dizzy. What happens when a company enters administrative issue status? I would like to at least receive corporate advisory.

If there is a corporate attorney available, I would like to receive legal advisory for small and medium-sized enterprises and look into it.

Can I look into the requirements for a venture company by receiving startup legal advice?

I am curious about the venture company requirements that can be learned through startup legal advice.

What should I do if I am subjected to corporate litigation due to a product defect?

A consumer contacted us saying that he was injured while using our company's product and that he would file corporate litigation on the ground of product liability.

Approximately how much would the compensation amount be?

Corporate advisory attorney, is it possible to convert from a limited liability company to a stock company?

Could I learn about the procedure and method for converting to a stock company?

A management control dispute has arisen; how should I best respond?

We run a family-owned corporation, and a dispute has arisen regarding management control.

I would like to receive advice so that the management control dispute can be lawfully resolved and concluded well.

What requirements must be met to carry out a layoff for managerial reasons?

What requirements must be met to carry out a layoff for managerial reasons, and how can problems be prevented?

Franchise attorney, is there a risk if the headquarters unilaterally terminates a franchise agreement?

I am running a franchise business, and there are often cases in which some franchise stores do not sufficiently follow the headquarters' guidelines or direction.

I would like to know in detail from a franchise attorney about the legal risks regarding this issue.
