Regulations are often a barrier to launching a new business.
In addition, regulatory compliance may also be necessary when responding to changes in the law, and changing business models.
We provide the following supports in dealing with such regulations

We provide a wide range of advice on research and analysis of complex and ambiguous laws and regulations, as well as on how to deal with such laws and regulations. We are often consulted in the fields of IT/platform-related businesses, medical/healthcare, mobility, and energy.

In particular, we provide a wide range of legal support for new businesses. Specifically, we investigate which laws and regulations apply to the business and identify legal risks. We then analyze the legality and design a tailor-made business model that does not significantly impede the objectives of the business and that at the same time complies with the objectives of the law.
In designing a business model, we pursue an interpretation of the law as much as possible so that the company can realize its objectives.
In addition to new businesses, we also deal with business responses to legal amendments and sometimes conduct regulatory due diligence on existing businesses.

Though we pursue responses through legal interpretation first, in cases where it is not possible to develop a legitimate business under existing laws and regulations, and where there is public interest in aiming for systemic reform, we negotiate and advocate a new policy to the government and other parties.

Specifically, depending on the case, we ask for the revision of laws and regulations for making Japanese economy more innovative.
In order to encourage the government to take prompt action, we will propose detailed policy proposals rather than mere requests.
For example, we do not only research laws and regulations, but also investigate related systems overseas, conduct economic analysis on the effects of amending a law, and study measures to prevent side effects. If necessary, we also draft articles for law amendments and propose them to the government and politicians.
With regard to this work, we do not engage in activities aimed solely at inducing profits for individual companies.
We only deal with cases that we are convinced are in the public interest. For this reason, we are only able to handle a limited number of cases, and we hope you understand this.

Strategies related to intellectual property are also important for development of a business.
In particular, since many companies and start-ups with advanced technology have emerged in recent years, we focus on handling copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property matters.
It is also necessary to draft terms of use and privacy policies, handle personal information, and negotiate labor, financing, and various other contracts.
We provide comprehensive support for these legal matters.
