PRACTICES

We have extensive experience in handling antitrust and competition law matters. Our experienced team of lawyers is headed by an attorney who has previously worked in-house for the Japanese Fair Trade Commission (JFTC). 

We assist Japanese and foreign companies in navigating the leniency process in international cartel cases and in responding to investigations of the JFTC, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the European Commission.

We also help clients put in place competition law compliance programs, prepare compliance policies and train clients on the implementation of such policies, and conduct periodic audits to prevent violations.

Our team also intervenes on commercial and corporate transactions to ensure regulatory compliance, and handles regulatory merger filings, including multi-jurisdictional filings and clearance procedures in collaboration with our network of global law firms.10
