Public affairs in Japan

Foreign companies in Japan instinctively feel the need to understand the government and legislative environment surrounding their businesses. But how can they find out who actually holds the power? When is new legislation being enacted, and what will be the impact? What opportunities are there for meaningful input? What are peer companies doing? What are the risks of speaking out? What other influences are at work?

See through the barriers

Whether you're inside Japan hoping to see out, or outside Japan hoping to see in, we can formulate and implement a strategic plan to help you communicate through seemingly impenetrable barriers.

We help foreign companies and government organizations:

• Develop relationships with government and public bodies in Japan
• Prioritize and stay abreast of key government issues through monitoring and analysis
• Work with local advocacy bodies such as international and regional chambers of commerce, Japanese trade associations, academics and other opinion leaders
