Scrutiny from regulators outside Japan: Challenges for Japanese companies – Episode 1: Series overview

As the domestic market shrinks and more Japanese companies look outside Japan to increase revenue, they expose themselves to increased legal and regulatory risk.

John Lane, Peter Bungate, Nina Newcombe and Anup Bharadwaj are lawyers at Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu in Tokyo.  Join them as they invite their colleagues to discuss some of the difficulties that Japanese companies face when internal misconduct is discovered and foreign stakeholders start asking difficult questions.

This series aims to provide Japanese companies with greater awareness to better manage their cross-border regulatory and litigation risk.  For non-Japanese listeners, the series will unlock some of the puzzling, and seemingly irrational, decisions by Japanese companies which can lead to breaches of laws and regulations, and poor handling of the fallout.

Episode 1 provides a high-level overview of each of the 21 episodes in the series.
