Recent developments in cartel investigation & leniency practices, in & outside Japan (English)
from Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Podcasts · host Herbert Smith Freehills Podcasts
HSF Tokyo senior associate Joel Rheuben is joined by Yusuke Takamiya, a partner at leading Japanese law firm Mori Hamada & Matsumoto, to discuss recent developments in cartel investigation and leniency practices. Recent amendments to Japan's Antimonopoly Law have provided the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) with wider discretion in setting cartel fines, with the aim of encouraging greater cooperation from cartel leniency applicants. At the same time, the JFTC has promised greater protection for confidential attorney-client communications during cartel investigations. This podcast provides an overview of these developments, as well as a counterpoint from the recent practice of jurisdictions outside of Japan. A Japanese language version of this podcast is also available.
