Antitrust and Competition Law Compliance (Domestic / International)

Given that a single violation of the antitrust or competition laws may threaten the survival of a company, it is among the highest priority for risk management for many companies. Compliance with antitrust and competition laws requires thorough field knowledge and experience due to the ambiguity of the laws and regulations and the need for balancing compliance with business activities and the need to ensure compliance on a global scale.

In many cases, however, it is difficult for a single company department to accumulate such knowledge and experience in terms of both budget and resources. In order to meet the needs of our clients, our firm provides support in developing internal antitrust and competition law compliance support programs, based on the wealth of knowledge and experience that we have accumulated through our involvement in various compliance matters while conducting appropriate risk assessment.

In addition, we can organize and conduct antitrust and competition law compliance seminars featuring speakers from our Antitrust and Competition Law team, including former members of the Fair Trade Commission.

In addition, competition law risks related to corporate supply chains and relationships with business partners have become an increasingly common issue in recent years. We analyze and provide advice on issues related to various types of contracts such as license agreements, joint research and development agreements, distribution-related agreements, franchise agreements and other unilateral actions. In cases where a problematic transaction or unilateral action relates to digital, life science or financial services, we draw on the expertise of our lawyers who are actively engaged in those fields to address the problems in a prompt and accurate manner, while taking into consideration the actual circumstances of the transaction, and give advice on how to resolve any issues.
