Chemicals
Our firm has received numerous requests from leading Japanese chemical manufacturers and is extensively involved in the basic materials industry, including petrochemicals. While the chemical field is undergoing a shift toward decarbonization, carbon neutrality, and green chemistry, it is also required to comply with complex and highly specialized laws and regulations, such as the Chemical Substance Control Law, the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Law, the Waste Disposal Law, and other environmental regulations. In addition to M&A and new business development, our firm provides practical solutions to a wide variety of issues, including advice on compliance with these laws and regulations, international environmental regulations, and transaction agreements.
