Understanding Global Risks: Managing Contracts for Crisis Preparedness

Seminar on Global Risks and Contract Management

Re-grit Partners, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, will co-host a significant seminar with ContractS, titled “Understanding Global Risks: Managing Contracts for Crisis Preparedness,” on May 20, 2026. The seminar will feature insights from Yuta Katayama, Director at Re-grit Partners, focusing on emerging global risks impacting businesses today.

Background

In recent years, global risks such as economic security, geopolitical tensions, and cyber threats have expanded both in scope and intensity. Companies are now facing increasing challenges that require them to build effective frameworks that exceed traditional risk management practices, especially as we prepare for potential crises.

One major concern is the slow pace at which companies are reassessing contracts in light of economic security, geopolitical, and cyber risks. Often, there is a lack of awareness regarding the overall status of contracts across an organization, along with insufficient readiness for operational responses in the event of a crisis.

Seminar Highlights

This seminar aims to clarify the latest risk trends and provide a comprehensive design for addressing these challenges. Attendees can expect to learn about:

- Current global risk landscape and implications for corporate governance.
- Effective strategies for contract management that consider crisis preparedness.
- Governance frameworks essential for managing risks effectively during uncertain times.
