■ * Seminar overview *
In recent years, opportunities to outsource work to freelancers have increased as companies combat labor shortages and diversify work styles, but at the same time, issues such as non-payment and harassment have also emerged.
Against this background,* the “New Freelance Law” (official name: Law Concerning Appropriate Transactions Related to Specified Contract Business Operators) will come into effect on November 1, 2024* will be done. This law requires businesses that outsource work to freelancers to * “appropriate transactions” and “improve the working environment” *
It’s a thing. Violations may result in penalties.
If we continue to conduct business as usual without a sufficient understanding of this law, we may face risks such as recommendations, orders, and public announcements by administrative agencies, and the associated decline in social trust.*
. In order to become a company that is chosen and trusted by freelancers, it is important that all on-site personnel understand the purpose of the law and apply it in their work*.
In this seminar, *experts in competition law and labor law* will provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the new freelance law, including content from a new book scheduled to be published soon* I will do it. We hope that you will deepen your understanding of this law as a first step toward building good business relationships with freelancers and gaining their trust.

■* In preparation for the seminar*
LEC and Cycom Brains began a business partnership in October 2022 to jointly develop video content related to compliance and risk management. Through this partnership, we aim to provide
compliance-related educational opportunities to many corporations and individuals.
Going forward, we will not only develop content but also disseminate information through various courses and seminars on the legal mindset required in this era of change, thereby increasing legal knowledge and practical skills in the compliance and risk management field. We will also work on public awareness activities for this purpose.
Additionally, after the seminar, we plan to produce and sell video e-learning content on the same theme in order to help companies with employee training and human resource development.
