Bengoshi.com Launches "BUSINESS LAWYERS 1000 Knock" Compliance Training e-Learning for All Employees

Bengoshi.com, Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO, Lawyer: Taichiro Motoe; hereinafter "the Company") announces that it will launch the compliance training e-learning service "BUSINESS LAWYERS 1000 Knock" on July 8, 2026.

The main themes to be sequentially released from July to September are "Personal Information," "Trade Secrets," "Information Security," "Electronic Contracts," "Generative AI," "Compliance," and "Harassment." First, we will begin offering services in the areas of personal information, trade secrets, information security, electronic contracts, and generative AI in July.

Background of Service Development: Urgent Need for Legal Literacy Education in the Age of Generative AI Adoption

In recent years, the business application of generative AI has rapidly expanded, increasing the number of situations where business professionals must gather and judge information themselves. On the other hand, many decisions are made with insufficient understanding of legal risks, and corporate compliance risks continue to rise due to mishandling of personal information, errors in harassment response, and contract disputes.

While corporate legal and HR departments are working to implement training, the challenge of "training is conducted, but on-site behavior does not change" remains deeply rooted. Furthermore, the effort and cost required to internally produce and continuously update highly specialized content are a significant burden, often leaving staff resources strained with just the planning and operation of training.

To solve these challenges, the Company is launching a new e-learning service, "BUSINESS LAWYERS 1000 Knock," utilizing short-form videos directly linked to practical work.

What is "BUSINESS LAWYERS 1000 Knock"?

"BUSINESS LAWYERS 1000 Knock" is an e-learning service, with each session lasting approximately 10 minutes, aimed at enabling corporate managers and employees to correctly understand legal risks and acquire practical knowledge applicable to their daily work.

<Key Features>

1. Approximately 10 minutes per session, e-learning tailored to practical scenarios

The videos are designed around scenarios that may be encountered in practice, such as "How to respond when a business partner refuses an electronic contract" or "Initial steps a manager should take when receiving a harassment complaint." Each video is short, about 10 minutes, minimizing the burden on staff while enabling continuous learning. Additionally, each video includes a comprehension test (10 questions) to promote understanding.

2. Supervised by leading lawyers from Japan's top law firms, active in their respective fields

The e-learning offered by "BUSINESS LAWYERS 1000 Knock" ensures accuracy through supervision by Japan's leading law firms for each domain, allowing HR and compliance staff without specialized knowledge to introduce and deploy the service with confidence. For the first phase, Lawyer Yutaka Kimeida (Nishimura & Asahi Law Offices) supervised "Compliance" and "Harassment," Lawyer Hiroyasu Kagejima (Ushijima & Partners) supervised "Personal Information," "Trade Secrets," "Information Security," and "Electronic Contracts," and Lawyer Takeyuki Matsuo (Muo, Matsuo & Nanba Law Offices) provided overall supervision for the "Generative AI" field.

3. 100 packages to choose from according to corporate training needs

100 types of packages are available, tailored to business scenarios such as "Crisis Management," "Responding to Electronic Contract Disputes," and "Generative AI Risk Management." Organized into 8 categories, from mandatory for all employees to hierarchical,職種別 (job-specific), and risk-based, companies can quickly select the necessary training without having to design it from scratch.

Future Outlook

As a first release, this initiative will see 51 themes in the areas of personal information, trade secrets, information security, electronic contracts, and generative AI released in July. In August, 69 themes in compliance and harassment will be released, followed by 82 themes in HR/labor and contract practice in September, with categories being expanded sequentially. A total of 202 themes will be released from July to September, with the aim of providing all 1,000 e-learning modules by 2027.

Furthermore, by combining this with the existing service "BUSINESS LAWYERS COMPLIANCE: Compliance Learned Through Drama," which teaches compliance through dramas, companies will be offered a deeper learning experience that combines "understanding of situations" through drama with "knowledge retention" through training videos.

Comments from Supervising Lawyers

<Supervisor for Compliance and Harassment Areas>

Yutaka Kimeida, Partner Lawyer, Nishimura & Asahi Law Offices

"This service uses scenarios actually encountered in the field as subject matter, encouraging participants to think about them as their own issues. In particular, enabling managers to develop appropriate judgment regarding compliance directly leads to an improvement in the risk management capabilities of the entire organization. I also believe the design of each theme being completed in 10 minutes is effective for busy business professionals to learn continuously."

<Supervisor for Personal Information, Information Security, Trade Secrets, and Electronic Contracts Areas>

Hiroyasu Kagejima, Partner Lawyer, Ushijima & Partners

"The legal risks faced by companies are becoming more complex year by year, with amendments to the Personal Information Protection Act and responses to cybersecurity. This service organizes complex legal knowledge into a format that aligns with practical scenarios. We aim for content that can be intuitively understood even by those without legal expertise, and we believe it will contribute to improving the legal literacy of business professionals."

<Supervisor for Generative AI Area>

Takeyuki Matsuo, Partner Lawyer, Muo, Matsuo & Nanba Law Offices

"While the business use of generative AI is expanding, legal risks that require on-site judgment, such as handling copyrights, personal information, and confidential information, are becoming more complex. This service organizes these issues in line with business scenarios, aiming for content that intuitively shows what to be careful about. The design, allowing users to select and learn about topics of interest in 10-minute sessions, provides a foundation for confidently utilizing generative AI."
