When Foreign Investment Goes Wrong:
Investor–State Arbitration for Japanese Companies

As Japanese companies deepen their footprint across Southeast Asia, India, and beyond, particularly in energy, infrastructure, construction and resources, the regulatory environment is shifting under them. Tariff changes, licence revocations, shifting energy-transition policy, and creeping expropriation can erode the value of investments that took years to build. Investment treaties, and the investor-State dispute resolution (ISDS) mechanism that enforces them, remain one of the most powerful and underused tools available to protect those investments.

This seminar offers a clear, practitioner-led briefing on how Japanese outbound investors can use the network of treaties available to them, including the CPTPP, RCEP, the Japan-EU EPA, and Japan's bilateral investment treaties, to manage political and regulatory risk before disputes arise, and to pursue protection when they do.

What you will take away:

• How ISDS works in practice, and where it sits alongside commercial arbitration and local-court remedies

• Which treaties protect Japanese investments in key host states, and the protections they offer (fair and equitable treatment, protection against expropriation, free transfer of funds)

• How to structure investments at the outset to secure treaty coverage

• Emerging flashpoints, including energy-transition measures and the tension between host-state regulatory rights and investor protections

• Practical steps for in-house teams: early warning signs, evidence preservation, and when to bring in counsel and third-party funding to cover your legal costs.

*The webinar will be held via Zoom Webinar, so you can easily join from your home or office.
