Lobbying

• Research and analysis of the regulatory landscape in the client’s industries and competitors
• Growth strategy through rulemaking
• External communication/public relations strategy for rulemaking

Traditionally, companies only needed to follow the laws, regulations and rules which were established by national governments and international organizations.
With more Western companies actively engaging in global regulatory strategy and rulemaking, Japanese companies cannot maintain its competitiveness by simply　taking “defensive” actions.
Companies are now urged more than ever to engage in rulemaking and corporate lobbying, and to actively take action to seek benefits and advantages from legislations and regulations. We offer various types of support for developing and implementing rulemaking strategy, focusing on “standards” and “regulations.”

“Standards” can be divided into “de jure standards” which are often established by standardization organizations such as ISO, IEC, etc. and “de facto standards” which are adopted widely by industry and its customer.
“Regulations” include international rules concluded between nations, as well as laws, ordinances, guidelines, etc. in each country.

“Standards x Regulations Strategy” is a framework for rulemaking that aims to bring a significant business impact by combining the two.
