Hideto Ishida counsels a variety of domestic and foreign multinational companies in Japanese antitrust and international competition matters, including those relating to mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, distribution agreements, licence agreements and other cooperation agreements. He also represents many companies involved in investigations before the JFTC and other foreign competition authorities for price cartels, bid-rigging and similar serious alleged violations such as Vitamin, Graphite Electrode, GIS, Marine Hose, Air Fare, LCD, Autoparts, Maritime, Libor, Tibor and FX international cartels. He served for seven years as the first attorney appointed as a special investigator with the JFTC, and thus has a keen sense of the actual and practical application of antitrust and distribution regulations to companies doing business in Japan.
