Insightful Seminar on PFI Business Contracts and Recent Guidelines

Detailed Overview of the PFI Business Contract Seminar

On September 29, 2025, JPI (Japan Plan Institute) will host a crucial seminar titled "Insightful Seminar on PFI Business Contracts and Recent Guidelines". This event will feature Guest Speaker Attorney Yoshiyoshi Suzuki from Suzuki Law Office, who will provide invaluable insights into PFI (Private Finance Initiative) business contracts.

PFI contracts can be extensive, often exceeding several dozen pages and containing over a hundred clauses, making it intimidating for practitioners who may lack the time or expertise to navigate these documents effectively. Many professionals tend to delegate this responsibility to legal departments, but even those assigned may struggle to pinpoint critical aspects if they have limited PFI experience. This seminar aims to address these challenges by offering a thorough breakdown of PFI contracts using the recently revised "Contract Guidelines" as a reference point. Participants will deepen their understanding of significant frameworks and contemporary issues surrounding PFI contracts, enhancing their confidence in interpreting individual cases.
