Past event in Frankfurt: Business and Investment in Japan

As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen collaboration across our LPA Law offices worldwide, Lionel Vincent, Managing Partner of LPA Tokyo, was pleased to participate and share key insights on current trends, strategic priorities and investment drivers in Japan during a breakfast talk held at our LPA Frankfurt office.

Key topics included:

• Japan’s economic development and global positioning
• Structural challenges such as demographic trends, labour shortages and inflation dynamics
• Government initiatives to strengthen foreign direct investment and strategic industries, including technology, renewable energy and life sciences
• Rising cross-border activity and factors driving international investment into Japan

Japan remains a compelling destination for investors, offering strong fundamentals, attractive opportunities across strategic sectors, and an increasingly supportive environment for cross-border activity.

Our team in Frankfurt was represented by Dr. Steffen Paulmann (Head of French Desk), Dr. Leif Gösta Gerling, LL.M. (Head of Asian Desk), Dr. Martin Hoffmann and Jiabao Li, whose contributions helped connect the insights from Tokyo with the interests of our German and European clients.

Thank you to the LPA Frankfurt team for this opportunity and to the participants for the valuable exchange.

We look forward to welcoming you to Japan soon and further enhancing our cross-border partnerships!
