Free Webinar Archive Release on Subcontracting Law Revisions

The Authense Law Firm, based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, is thrilled to announce the archive release of its highly acclaimed webinar series titled "Legal Reform Watch". This particular session, originally held on December 5, 2025, dives into the critical updates regarding the Subcontracting Law, which will come into effect on January 1, 2026.

Overview of the Subcontracting Law Changes

The revisions to the Subcontracting Law aim to introduce new regulations governing the relationships between companies and their affiliates, with a significant focus on ensuring fairness in transactions. The changes will include additional criteria based on the number of employees and will extend to previously unchecked transactions. Notably, the obligation to negotiate prices and restrictions on who bears banking fees will directly impact daily transaction operations, necessitating preparation for many businesses.

In this archived webinar, attorney Hanekawa Matsui, who specializes in corporate legal affairs, provides an in-depth explanation of the reform's practical points through real-world applications. It's essential for companies to recognize how their everyday tasks, such as selecting suppliers and managing delivery conditions, are closely aligned with these new regulations.
