foxcale and BUSINESS LAWYERS Co-Host Free Online Seminar on Antitrust Law Violations and Emergency Response on May 14th

foxcale Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, and led by CEO Takeshi Koike, will co-host a free online seminar titled "Is Our Company Okay? – The Reality of Antitrust Law Violations and Initial Response You Should Know Before the JFTC Arrives" with Bengoshi.com Inc., which operates the corporate legal portal "BUSINESS LAWYERS." The seminar will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2026, from 12:00 to 13:00. The background for this seminar is the increasing risk of exposure for companies due to the Japan Fair Trade Commission's strengthened enforcement of the Antimonopoly Act and legal revisions. Especially in cases involving cartels and bid rigging, there is a competitive rush for leniency applications, and delays in initial response can lead to fatal risks. Companies are urged to shift from a passive stance to building a proactive compliance system. The seminar will feature practical risk countermeasures from both legal practice and digital forensic investigation perspectives. Part 1, led by lawyer Shinji Aoki of Iwata Godo Law Office, will analyze recent enforcement cases and explain legal risks often overlooked by companies, as well as appropriate responses during JFTC investigations and systems to be established in peacetime. Part 2, led by Takeshi Koike, CEO of foxcale Inc., will explain digital forensic investigation methods for rapid fact-finding and objective evidence preservation to prevent delays in initial response. It will also introduce practical applications of the early fraud detection tool "foxcope-CA" with case studies. The program includes three parts: "Antitrust Law Violations Are Not Someone Else's Problem: Commonalities in Enforcement Cases and Overlooked Internal Risks," "How to Prepare for Investigation Response: Practical Use of Forensic Investigations and Early Detection Tools," and a QA session. The seminar will be delivered online via the Nexpro webinar system, is free of charge, and has a capacity of 100 participants. It is aimed at personnel in corporate legal, compliance, and internal audit departments. Applications close on May 11, 18:00. foxcale aims to realize a society where people who contribute honestly for society are rewarded, based on digital forensics and professional ethics. The company was established in December 2019.
