Personal Message
Following my admission to the bar, I spent over six years as in-house counsel for both pre-IPO and publicly listed companies. I navigated critical phases of corporate growth, including IPO preparation, and developed robust corporate governance frameworks. My experience spans the full spectrum of corporate operations—from facilitating board meetings and managing contracts to overseeing compliance, employment matters, and intellectual property.
This hands-on, insider experience defines my approach to legal support: I deliver solutions that are not only legally sound but also precisely tailored to your company’s specific growth stage and organizational challenges. I understand that legal advice is truly effective only when it aligns with the realities of business operations.
At my previous law firm, I specialized in providing integrated support by taking a cross-functional approach to management, HR, and legal matters. I have a proven track record of helping clients achieve sustainable growth through workflow optimization and the refinement of internal regulations. Today, I bring this multidimensional expertise to Kakeru LPC, delivering deeply practical, business-centric legal solutions that integrate seamlessly with your overall organizational strategy.
