GERMAN & EU LAW

Our focus group GERMAN & EU LAW aims to support Japanese clients investing in Germany/Europe. With our team of German-qualified lawyers in our Tokyo office and in cooperation with the German-based offices of ARQIS Rechtsanwälte, we can advise on all aspects of German commercial, corporate and labour law in Japanese, English and German.

This includes, in particular, advice in German and EU law on the following topics:

• M&A and joint ventures;
• Commercial and consumer law;
• Labour law;
• IP/IT;
• Data Protection and Privacy (GDPR);
• Supply agreements & supply chain regulation;
• Foreign direct investment screening.

The EU legislator has the reputation of being a global trendsetter in shaping the regulatory landscape. Recent important topics include the EU rules on digital business models (Digital Services Act, AI, IoT), ESG topics (taxonomy, supply chain act) and consumer and data law. We help Japanese clients understand and comply with the EU rules of today, which may be the global standard of tomorrow.
