The term "design" encompasses a wide variety of fields, including graphic/editorial design, product design, fashion design, character design, and web design. In recent years, as represented by the term "design management", there has been an increasing number of efforts to place the power of design and designers' ways of thinking at the core of business, and to link this to corporate branding and innovation creation.

Our firm provides a wide range of legal support to freelance designers, design companies, and other creators, as well as users who are trying to develop their businesses by utilizing designs, based on expertise in contractual and practical key issues for each type of design and industry, and in rights-related matters such as copyrights. We also provide legal support to clients who wish to utilize their designs and to develop into business.
