About Nishimura & Asahi in Germany

Nishimura & Asahi was the first leading Japanese law firm to open offices in Europe. From our offices in Frankfurt and Düssledorf, Germany, we advise clients in all essential areas of commercial law, often in close cooperation with leading European law firms.

For our offices in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf, Germany, we are hiring

Attorneys-at-law (m/f/d) in the field of Privacy and Data Protection (qualified as attorney-at-law in an EU member state or Japan)

Advising both Japanese and non-Japanese companies in compliance matters, data breach and other incident issues, as well as data transactions and agreements, are some of our core competencies.

In this varied and ever evolving field, you will work closely with our partners, counsels and associates in Germany, Japan, China and Southeast Asia. From day one, you will work on highprofile matters as part of small, focused teams and will be trained in a well-founded and “on the job” manner.

You have a proven interest in Japan, are qualified as attorney-at-law in an EU member state or Japan, and possess outstanding academic credentials as well as excellent English skills. For non-Japanese nationals an ability to communicate in Japanese is beneficial, but not required. In addition, you are interested in economic relationships and enjoy working in multicultural teams. Applications from career starters are just as welcome as those from lawyers who have already gained professional experience.

We look forward to your application, preferably via email, to:
