A special lecture was held for about 9 law students in the class.

　As corporate activities become more globalized, the number of cases in which Asian companies, including Japan, are held legally liable in the Western markets is increasing rapidly, and litigation measures are currently an indispensable element in corporate business strategies. is.In the lecture, entitled "Countermeasures for Discovery of Japanese Companies-To Fight Equally in the World-", Morimoto focused on various problems that Asian companies face during proceedings in the United States. At that time, the cost of Japanese companies to pay for essential discovery (disclosure of evidence) is about three times that of US companies, and even if the US companies have the capacity to continue the proceedings for three years, Japanese companies can only continue for one year. As a result, it will cause a settlement. "

　"Asian companies are in a very disadvantageous situation. As a result, Asian companies are in a situation where they cannot adhere to the original principles of discovery, Fairness and Justice. I felt a sense of crisis in this situation and established UBIC to protect Japan's pride and compete on an equal footing in the world, "said enthusiastically," Discovery (evidence), which accounts for more than most of the cost of litigation in the United States. The students listened enthusiastically to the statement, "It is necessary for the future growth strategy of the company to take the measures (disclosure) under the initiative of the head office."

Furthermore, by making full use of our in-house developed technology "Lit i View ®" that can analyze Asian languages with high accuracy, we have the support capability that can be handled locally in Asia in all e-discovery processes, and in client base countries such as Japan, South Korea, and the United States. He explained the strengths of UBIC, which provides thorough local support such as data hosting, and introduced aspects that contribute to analysis in various fields as a leading company in litigation data analysis.

　Finally, he talked about Morimoto's own entrepreneurial experience and Nasdaq listing episodes as advice for students going out into society to play an active role globally.Students actively asked questions about our data analysis technology, and we were able to see their high level of interest.We will continue to utilize Morimoto's experience and our achievements to contribute to the development of students studying justice and young people who are active globally.
