Event Description:	Sonnenschein partner Harumi Hata will speak at "Japan, Deregulated: Japan's Improved Corporate Governance," a conference organized by the Japan External Trade Organization in Los Angeles on June 30. A market once unfriendly to shareholders, Japan has taken out all the stops in improving transparency, bolstering accountability and creating a fair playing field for M&A. It is no coincidence Japan's economic recovery and these regulatory reforms have come at the same time. During the conference experts will speak on regulatory changes that make Japan shareholder-friendly and encourage FDI into Japan, especially in the form of M&A. Panelists will discuss with keynote speakers why these changes make Japan attractive to foreign companies and how they are driving long-term economic growth by improving profitability. Foreign companies will be on virtually even-footing with Japanese ones through laws to be implemented in the 2006 fiscal year, so there has never been a better time to learn about Japanese corporate governance.
