    Bringing the voice of companies to the legislature and administration --
    Supporting effective engagement in the policy-making processTo do

    Mimura and Komatsu Law Office has launched a "Lobby Support Package" to provide specialized lobbying legal services in order to help companies resolve the institutional and structural issues they face.

    In today's rapidly changing world, the key to stable business growth is to actively participate in the decision-making process for economic and industrial policies and regulatory laws by accurately communicating the state of the industry and political issues to the Diet and government.
    However, for many companies and organizations, policy advocacy and lobbying are unknown territory and they do not know where to begin.

    This package provides support for lawyers to convey companies' opinions and concerns about legal systems and policies to legislators and government officials in an appropriate manner.
    Our firm includes lawyers who have experience working as secretaries to Diet members and at central government ministries and agencies, as well as lawyers who have formed industry associations and engaged in lobbying. Our team of lawyers has knowledge of the policy-making process and is skilled in business understanding and strategic approaches, and will provide strong support to strategically and effectively convey the voice of the industry to legislators and the administration.
