現在、シンガポールには3万人以上の日本人が居住しています。シンガポールは、比較的治安も良く、法令も整っており、日本人に快適な環境が整っている一方、そもそもの法律の体系も異なることや日本人が予想もしない厳しい取り締まりが行われていること等から法律上のトラブルに巻き込まれる日本人も増加しています。他方、法律上のトラブルに巻き込まれた場合においても言語の問題・高額なリーガルフィーなどから、気軽に法律相談ができる窓口も多くないのが現状です。
One Asia Lawyers Group/Focus Law Asia LLC所属の日本人弁護士三好健洋は、日本人弁護士でありながらシンガポールの法廷事件や刑事事件にも自ら対応することができる資格(Advocate & Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore)を有している数少ない弁護士の一人であり、日本人がビジネス・生活を行う上で直面する法律問題に対応する数多くの経験を有しております。
本セミナー・ウェビナーシリーズでは、日本人がシンガポールでビジネス・生活を営む中で最もよく直面する一般民事法の分野に絞り、シンガポールにおけるビジネス・生活で必要不可欠な法律を分かりやすく日本語で解説いたします。

September 14 & 15 and September 28 & 29, 2023 Plus Exam Zoom via Internet Over Four Half-Day Sessions
Presented and Organized by: The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Jointly by North America, New York and Canada Branches Venue: Remote Video Conference.
Course Schedule Thursday, Sept. 14th – 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15th – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.* Thursday, Sept. 28th – 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29th – 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Five interactive breakout workshops PLUS three plenary sessions explore the challenges of organizing and managing a complex international arbitration and the drafting of an enforceable reasoned international award.
The failure to prevent fraud offence has been described as a "game changer" by the Serious Fraud Office and is likely to be the biggest development in the enforcement of corporate crime since the Bribery Act.
Large companies are directly targeted by this offence and will need to undertake risk assessments and have reasonable procedures in place to prevent fraud to avoid the risk of prosecution.
While SME's are not at risk of the offence itself, all businesses, irrespective of size, will need policies and procedures in place to be able to fulfil the compliance obligations that large companies will likely require as a condition of doing business with them.
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act offence will coincide with the appointment of a new director of the SFO in 2023, and it is likely that tackling fraud will be the focus of renewed criminal enforcement activity by a range of agencies including HMRC.
The Lexology Masterclass, with leading experts in financial crime from both the legal world and business, will conduct a detailed review of the offence and the proposed changes to the "controlling mind" test, again aimed at making it easier to prosecute companies.
The session will analyse and answer questions on:

ESG issues have risen to high prominence for corporates, law firms, insurers and investors alike. They may have a direct impact on a company’s financial performance and reputation and have already triggered previously unseen disputes.
This year’s Summit will explore how corporates can tackle the risks that follow from the increasing importance of ESG issues. Leading experts will discuss the risks following from climate litigation and collective redress claims as well as potential responses thereto.
The Summit will also showcase the potential of new technologies and discuss how insurance and legal finance solutions can be used to mitigate and transfer these risks.

Speaker: Koga Abe, Patent and Trademark Attorney
Choosing a suitable local script mark or considering whether to file any local script marks in the first place is no easy task for IP owners. Japanese language has three sets of characters; Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. This webinar will discuss trademark-related peculiarities of Japan resulting from features of Japanese language. IP owners should be aware of these features as this will help them to adequately protect their brands in Japan. Join us as we discuss:
In this webinar, we discuss how to avoid enablement issues in the U.S. in mechanical, chemical, and software technologies (such as AI) in view of the recent Supreme Court decision Amgen v. Sanofi.
In our common law system, there is no set of strict written rules governing what is required for enablement, as it is driven by the policy behind enablement and prior case law. The webinar will explore the relevant case law and the policy behind enablement.
Patent practitioners need to understand how to address the issue of enablement. The webinar will discuss how responses to an enablement challenge may include claim construction, expert testimony, and use of prior art amongst others.
We will further examine how to avoid enablement issues including how to identify such issues during the drafting process and during prosecution. We will especially take a look at how the functional nature of software-related patents make them vulnerable to scrutiny after Amgen.
