PRACTICE AREAS
Competition/Antitrust
Not only is competition law legislation constantly changing but the enforcement practices of competition agencies are often different from the black-letter law of statutes, ordinances or guidelines. It is therefore essential for companies to obtain advice from experts with extensive knowledge as well as practical experience from the latest enforcement cases and who can advise on the enforcement trends of both the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) and international competition enforcement agencies. AMT has an extensive track record in matters relating to the Japanese Antimonopoly Act ("Antimonopoly Act") as well as aspects of international competition law, including matters involving foreign regulatory agencies. Our competition team consists of attorneys who have experience working for the JFTC and the European Commission, enabling AMT to provide first-class legal advice on the whole spectrum of competition and antitrust law.
