Electronics / Machinery / Other Manufacturing

Manufacturing is the foundation of the industrial base in Japan and worldwide. Beyond corporate, labor, and tax issues that manufacturers need to navigate, they also encounter a myriad of other legal issues, including those related to industry laws; real estate and environmental laws that impact ownership and operation of factories and facilities; foreign exchange laws and laws related to commerce and economic security in connection with overseas transactions; personal information protection laws and regulations; and matters concerning SDGs and DX. Furthermore, due to the increasingly global nature of today’s economy, manufacturers need to be vigilant about compliance with the various laws and regulations impacting their operations throughout the world.
