As economic security becomes an increasingly prominent policy concern, Japan’s foreign direct investment (FDI) regulations have taken on greater significance for international businesses seeking to enter or expand in the Japanese market. Companies involved in market entry, M&A transactions, or other forms of investment must carefully assess whether their activities trigger requirements under Japan’s Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (FEFTA), particularly in sensitive or regulated sectors. Changes in governance structures, such as the appointment or reappointment of foreign executives, can also necessitate prior notification to the authorities. Non-compliance may result in heightened scrutiny or regulatory intervention, making early legal assessment essential.
We offer personalized and comprehensive legal support to international businesses navigating the complexities of FEFTA. With a deep understanding of Japan’s regulatory landscape and a commitment to client-focused service, we provide strategic guidance to ensure compliance and facilitate successful investments in the Japanese market.
With extensive experience navigating Japan’s foreign investment regulation framework, we provide clients with clear, strategic guidance at every stage, from initial analysis through to regulatory filings and engagement with authorities.
