[Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Law Office / FRONTEO Co-sponsored Online Seminar]

It is widely known that it is important to understand antitrust law accurately because there are many situations where the relationship with antitrust law becomes a problem in conducting business, such as cartel / collusion, abuse of dominant bargaining position, and business combination examination. In addition, violations of antitrust laws are likely to cause various adverse effects, such as director liability, huge surcharges, damages, and impact on business overseas, and are one of the risk factors that require special attention when conducting business.
On the other hand, antitrust law differs from other areas of law in that the content of the rules and the thinking behind them are not clear, and without an understanding of the intuition behind them, it is easy to underestimate the risks and suffer serious consequences, or overestimate the risks and let the business down. Therefore, in order to effectively tackle antitrust practice, it is essential to have a solid understanding of the points in advance.
Based on this point, based on the experience of various legal counseling that the instructor receives every day, this seminar will explain the minimum points that the legal and general affairs departments should understand in order to work on antitrust practice. We will introduce you compactly in a form that covers major fields (cartels / collusion, private monopoly / unfair trading methods, business combinations).
