Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examines French professional corporations. Professional corporation is a legal form for professionals(ex. lawyers) to work together. In France, there are the two types of professional corporation laws many professions can use. Some professions (ex. architects, accountants) can use a joint-stock corporation form. In addition, French professionals have many other structures to work in groupe. In Japan, a profession, in principle, has only one corporation form to work together, and it is meaningful to study this French legal system.
