Biography
I am a partner of our Crisis Management Team in Nishimura & Asahi, Tokyo office, and have more than 10 years’ experience as a public prosecutor. I have profound experience and knowledge regarding domestic and international corporate crisis management. My main practice area is corporate crisis management and litigation. I have dealt with many cases in relation to investigations by the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission, the Japanese Fair Trade Commission, the Japanese Public Prosecutor’s Office, etc., as well as foreign authorities such as the U.S. Department of Justice, and also dealt with a variety of cases such as misconduct by executives and employees, violation of environmental regulations, violation of the regulation regarding pharmaceutical and medical equipment, etc. In addition to cases that require emergency responses, I have advised many companies to build effective whistleblowing systems and anti-bribery compliance programs, and I have assisted with due diligence procedures from a compliance perspective.
