[Covington & Burling LLP / FRONTEO Co., Ltd. co-hosted online seminar]

This webinar – featuring Helen Hwang and Ed Rippey from Covington & Burling – will focus on “peacetime” efforts that Japanese companies should consider taking to protect themselves from investigations. It will highlight programs, protocols, and policies that have been implemented successfully at companies so that – if there is an external investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or a similar agency – the Japanese company will be well situated in interacting and corresponding with the agency. The speakers will offer key points, tips, and “do’s and don’ts” that Japanese companies of all sizes may wish to consider.
