What Is Going On With Ghosn?

As the third largest economy in the world, Japan is still very relevant in the world of business.  And increasingly, its business endeavors involve cooperative efforts with companies in other countries.

The November 2018 arrest of Carlos Ghosn based on allegations of improprieties in his management at Nissan, and his continued detention in Japan, call into question a number of issues relating to doing business in or with Japan as well as how its criminal justice system operates.

Come along to hear Professor Vicki Beyer outline the Ghosn situation and discuss opportunities to study in Japan yourself for a semester.

This seminar is co-hosted by the Asian Law Centre and the Centre for Corporate Law.
