Sobre os riscos legais envolvidos com o gerenciamento de informações enquanto as empresas operam no exterior, Arai explica: "Por exemplo, se falamos sobre os EUA, vamos considerar o litígio relacionado a violações da Lei da concorrência perante a lei antitruste norte-americana, que equivale à Lei de antimonopólio japonesa, aos Direitos de Propriedade Intelectual (IP) e à Confiança de Produtos (PL). Tratam-se de riscos legais compartilhados em países nos quais as empresas japonesas fazem negócios ativamente."

In reference to class-action lawsuits, Arai explains, "In Japan, the effect of a ruling in a class-action lawsuit extends only to persons, companies and groups that are named as plaintiffs. However, for example, in the class action system in the US, the effect of a ruling extends to all persons recognized as having suffered the same harm, even if the plaintiffs are not named. Therefore, in the US, if corporations are judged responsible for cartels or PL lawsuits, they must pay a huge amount of compensation. If that happens, there is a risk to the local business of course, but there is a risk of severe damage to the corporate business infrastructure.”
