授業の概要
This course investigates the legal issues involved in doing business in Japan.
You will develop the skills of transnational commercial lawyering to provide sophisticated advice to multi-national corporations seeking to transact or invest in the Japanese market.
科目目的
Throughout this course, you will be assisting a hypothetical multinational corporate client interested in a Japanese IT start-up. On behalf of the client, you will:
- assess the current state of the Japanese market and its current risks and opportunities;
- negotiate potential business collaboration;
- draft a contract to set out the terms of the deal;
- arrange the logistics for conducting the transborder deal, such as shipping, insurance and secured payments;
- expand the scope of the deal by licensing intellectual property or franchising a business model to produce goods or deliver services locally using foreign knowhow;
- create a business presence in the Japanese market by incorporating a company and filing necessary permissions with Japanese regulators; and
- set up internal systems and policies for the Japanese company to satisfy local laws and meet corporate governance expectations.
到達目標
At the completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- identify the merits and risks of investing in the post-bubble Japanese economy;
- engage in practical skills of cross-cultural negotiations, contract drafting and IP licensing;
- resolve the logistical issues involved in engaging with export-import transactions with Japanese partners; and
- design solutions to the cultural, socio-political and institutional challenges facing foreign investors seeking to invest directly in the Japanese market.
