DJW Gogo no Kai: Key Points for Operating Local Subsidiaries in Germany
Fourius Law Firm, Enobyte GmbH, Kitahama Partners and DJW will jointly host a seminar on the theme “Key Points for Operating Local Subsidiaries in Germany: Focusing on the Responsibilities of Managing Directors.”
Many Japanese companies have subsidiaries in Germany. This seminar will address organizational issues and responsibilities that managing directors of German subsidiaries and their supporting managers should be aware of, comparing them with Japanese law and business practices. The responsibilities imposed on managing directors under German GmbH law have unique aspects. Additionally, the GDPR, which is becoming recognized and established in Japan, and the NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Systems Directive) effective from 2023, impose a 24-hour notification obligation in the field of cybersecurity, with significant fines for non-compliance. These are important considerations for operating local subsidiaries in Germany, even if they are unfamiliar in Japanese practice.
Enno Zipse, a lawyer from Fourius Law Firm, will explain German law, and Hermann Gumpp from Enobyte GmbH will cover GDPR and cybersecurity. Kitahama Law Office’s lawyer, Mr. Naka, will ask questions from a Japanese perspective to deepen the discussion.
This event is going to be held on 17th October in Frankfurt and on 18th in Munich as an on-site event. The event language is Japanese.
