Global Investigations / Crisis Management / Compliance

Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu has a distinguished history of representing clients in connection with domestic and cross-border governmental/regulatory investigations, complex internal investigations, white collar criminal defense and many other situations involving difficult and sensitive governance issues.

Many of our team members have rich experience working in governmental agencies, including former government prosecutors, members of the Financial Services Agency, SESC, Fair Trade Commission, and Ministry of Justice, providing deep experience and credibility with the government and related institutions. These engagements range from (i) conducting thorough internal investigations, and formulating preventative measures, (ii) managing the client’s response to governmental investigations and private litigation, (iii) dealings with stock exchanges and investor relation matters, and (iv) advising on media strategy in the face of a crisis.

We are particularly experienced in advising both domestic and foreign clients in relation to cross-border regulatory investigations involving anti-competition, financial regulations, anti-corruption (FCPA) etc.

At the same time, in order to ensure legal compliance and business efficiency, it is essential that companies have an accurate understanding of applicable laws and regulations and establish internal organizations and systems in an appropriate manner in order to prevent large corporate crises from occurring. Based on its collective professional knowledge and broad experience, we advise our clients on the application and interpretation of laws and regulations in all legal areas and offer to our clients tailor-made legal services so that they can effectively establish appropriate organizations and systems designed to achieve sophisticated legal compliance and internal control standards (including, without limitation, preparing internal compliance manuals, engaging in training programs, establishing compliance audit systems, implementing emergency programs, and preparing improvement measures).
