ARQIS Foreign Law Office

"Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) - What will it mean in practice?" That's what we explained in the joint client seminar of TMI Associates and ARQIS Foreign Law Office last week. Some key take-aways are: 🗾 The #CSDDD can apply directly to Japanese companies if they have an entity OR merely sufficient turnover in the EU. 📜 One key difference between CSDDD and the Japanese guidelines on #business and #humanrights is the obligation to implement a #climatetransition plan. 🚨 The #German supervisory authority #bafa has taken a reasonable enforcement approach so far, but #civillitigation is on the rise in France and will likely increase in other European countries after the CSDDD is implemented in 2-3 years. 🔍 German companies use sector initiatives and #techsolutions to facilitate compliance with the German Supply Chain Act. Thanks to #TMI for organizing the event, and to the audience for joining and asking so many pertinent questions! Speakers: Kazuyasu Shiraishi, Kazuhide Ueno, Ulrich Kirchhoff, Dr. Carmen Appenzeller

Please register by tomorrow to join us for our client seminar on the #csddd next week (30 May). Drawing on the first experiences from France and Germany, we will explore how the new obligations apply to Japanese corporates and what the future enforcement will look like. Spoiler: Expect considerable legal fragmentation, at least in the next few years.

Protecting sensitive knowhow and business secrets is a matter of course - but there are typical situations where such exchanges are necessary (#duediligence #negotiations) or may happen inadvertently (#software #cloud #ai). Koichiro Hanamoto of TMI Associates and Dr. Carmen Appenzeller of ARQIS Foreign Law Office explain when to be cautious and what precautions to take.
