I am the office Managing Partner of Bird & Bird Gaikokuho Kyodo Jigyo Houritsu Jimu Bengoshi Jimusho and a corporate/commercial partner. I advise clients on cross-border corporate matters such as M&A, JV and FDI in a variety of sectors, notably across technology and communications, energy and utilities, media and entertainment and automotive. In particular, I have a lot of experience in supporting Japanese companies in the UK and Europe on their day-to-day legal issues as well (e.g. compliance, employment, commercial contracts).

The GDPR, as the European Union's cornerstone data protection law, applies to almost all organisations doing business in or with the EU, or individuals in the EU.

Designed to simplify the complexities of the Regulation, our guide provides insights on:

  • how the Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act, Data Act, Data Governance Act, and NIS2 Directive intersect with the GDPR;
  • the most important actions which organisations should take in seeking to comply with it including the latest CJEU cases and EDPB guidance; and
  • priority action points, and navigational signposts to relevant regulatory sources to help you enhance your GDPR compliance.

Bird & Bird has been assisting Japanese clients all over the world for many years. We have lawyers all over the world who understand the business practice of Japanese companies and provide legal advice tailored to relevant business sectors.

You can access the Japanese version of the full guide below. If you have any questions, please reach out to one of our team here who are on hand to help.
