Johannes Beyer, founder of BEYER LEGAL has a long and successful career as a legal counsel.

He discovered his fascination for Japan already during his studies. At a young age, this passion led him to Japan as a Postgraduate Scholar of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and brought him together with Mr. Morito Seki who lived in Frankfurt am Main from 1969 to 2015. As a German lawyer of Japanese descent, Mr. Seki played a key role in the development of the Japanese business community in Germany.

Johannes Beyer worked alongside Mr. Seki for over two decades until Mr. Seki retired and returned to Japan. Thanks to this role model and mentor, Mr. Beyer was able to build exceptional expertise in advising Japanese entities. He established himself as a trusted advisor for numerous Japanese businesses and institutions in Germany.

For many years, Johannes Beyer and his law firm have been based in Frankfurt am Main where he has established an exceptional reputation.

His intercultural competence and commitment are also reflected in his position as President of the German-Japanese Society e.V. in Frankfurt. His extensive and profound understanding of both the Japanese and German cultures are integral to his daily advisory work.

Years ago, Johannes Beyer made a very conscious decision to primarily focus on providing comprehensive support to Japanese entities relevant to their activities in Germany and Europe. He is a bridge-builder between Germany and Japan and aims to make a modest contribution through his work to foster and continually strengthen not only the economic but also the social and cultural ties between the two countries.
