Background of the Business

According to the "Survey on Corporate Legal Affairs, Tax, and Lawyers" (2024) by The Nikkei, Inc., approximately 80% of major domestic companies are experiencing a shortage of legal personnel.

Factors contributing to this include the increasing importance of compliance, the expanding role of legal departments due to DX and globalization, and the proportional increase in workload. Furthermore, the growing demand for specialized expertise due to the sophistication of legal work has made recruitment activities even more challenging for companies.

In this context, acquiring specialized personnel who precisely match a company's management challenges, rather than merely securing staff, presents a significant hurdle for many organizations.

In response to this challenge, GVA TECH has launched this service to support companies in building strong governance systems from a human resources perspective, leveraging the unique network and expertise cultivated through its legal tech business.
