Takahiro Homma and Yosuke Takata jointly authored an article titled "Commentary on the 2026 Revision of Japan's Corporate Governance Code: Strengthening the Functions of the Board Secretariat and Corporate Secretary," which has been published on BUSINESS LAWYERS.
The article provides an overview of the revision of the Corporate Governance Code announced on July 21, 2026, including its background, the structural redesign involving the streamlining of principles and the introduction of new interpretive guidelines, and the three key areas of the revision: promoting growth investment, disclosure of annual securities reports prior to general shareholders' meetings, and enhancing the functions of the board of directors. It then discusses the significance of, and practical responses to, strengthening the functions of the board secretariat and corporate secretary—a topic of particular importance to legal departments.
