Competition/Antitrust

Distribution and Other Competition Law Matters

AMT regularly advises clients on how best to structure distribution chains, agency agreements and franchising contracts in a pragmatic and commercially sensitive manner while balancing the requirements of the Antimonopoly Act. The Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations of Japan and the Subcontract Act of Japan are deemed to be special laws of the Antimonopoly Act, and the Freelance Law aims to protect freelancers from the perspective of abuse of a superior bargaining position, etc. AMT has substantial experience in advising and representing our clients in respect of investigations conducted by the relevant supervisory agencies in relation to these laws. Moreover, AMT provides comprehensive advice to clients on procedures for making claims asserting unfair competition including the filing of lawsuits under the Unfair Competition Prevention Act of Japan as well as other relevant laws.
