Keynote address

Mr. Hirohiko Nakahara, Deputy Director-General, Minister’s Secretariat, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry“Legal System Innovation - Regulatory Sandbox and Road to Society 5.0 –”The Fourth Industrial Revolution is bringing about rapid and drastic changes to society. Roles of the public sector and the private sector,
profit-making and non-profit entities, the inside and outside of organizations, so-called vertically-divided industries, producers andconsumers, and the like are all becoming relative. As a result, new rules need to be constructed. During this kind of phase, it can be said
that we are facing a dilemma, namely, the current well-established legal system may fetter the innovation that will create new added
values for the future. In this speech, I will explain the basic concept of the Regulatory Sandbox System, which was established in June 2018,
its implementation status, and recent trends and developments of the legal system relating to Society 5.0. Further, I will talk about theexpected roles of parties concerned, such as governments, corporations, and professionals, for promoting innovation of the legal system.

Second lecture Atsumi & Sakai“The Frontier of the 2019 Amendment tothe Antimonopoly Law: Issues in Risk Management”“Healthcare: Challenges and Latest Trends in the Health Businessand Non-Healthcare Providers’ Entry into the Healthcare Industry”

The Antimonopoly Law was drastically amended in June 2019.
With this amendment, while surcharge risk increases, the rules
for leniency have been drastically changed so that thesurcharge amount is now significantly dependent on theresponse of companies before and after an incident. Under thenew rules, we have to reconsider risk management, i.e., how todeal with the increasing risk of surcharges. In this seminar, wewill discuss, including a session, the future of risk management
based on the amendment to the law.

As people become more aware of their health in an aging
society, a growing number of players are entering the healthbusiness from a wide variety of other industries. From a legal
point of view, we will explain issues in entering this industry,
the latest trends in measures taken by the Government ofJapan, and comparisons with other countries. In addition,referring to the case of Amazon’s entry into the healthcare
business in the United States, we will explain challenges for
non-healthcare providers to conduct healthcare businesses inJapan by comparing the healthcare system in Japan and theUnited States.

Fourth lecture

Atsumi & Sakai“Innovation and Regulatory Initiatives”
There have been various systems introduced to be consideredin the face of regulations, such as the regulatory sandbox, thesystem to eliminate regulatory gray zones, the system forspecial treatment for new businesses, and the FinTech
demonstration hub. We will provide an overview of thesesystems, meeting bodies related to regulatory changes, andhow discussions have been proceeding. We will also discuss
how to communicate with regulatory authorities both within
and outside the framework of these systems, and what ideas
should be a basis for using these systems, referring to actual
disclosed cases and cases in which our law firm was involved.

Oh-Ebashi LPC & Partners“The Possibility of New Dispute Resolution: ODR (Online Dispute Resolution)”
The spread of Legal Tech has led to innovation in the judicial area
utilizing IT and AI. However, dispute resolution procedures in Japanremain outdated. From the perspective of improving the businessenvironment in our country, the development of efficient dispute
resolution procedures is essential, and online dispute resolution isattracting considerable attention with great potential. At present, theODR Revitalization Study Group has been established under theHeadquarters for Japan’s Economic Revitalization, and the basic policyof the government will be announced during this fiscal year. Therefore,
we will introduce ODR using IT and AI, which has already been studied
and deployed around the world, and the current situation and future
direction of Japan in order to deepen our understanding of ODR andprovide a perspective for future utilization.
