To those who are interested in joining our professional services team

S&K Brussels Consulting Co., Ltd. leverages its knowledge of EU and US data protection and AI regulations to help clients meet the compliance requirements necessary to gain the trust of consumers and regulatory authorities in the overseas expansion of their data and AI businesses.

Our firm is unique in three ways.

First, we are primarily involved in dealing with EU and US data protection regulations. This was motivated by our desire to provide a service in the area of data protection that would address the compliance issues that Japanese companies have traditionally struggled with in their overseas business expansion activities, particularly in relation to EU and US regulations.

Second, we take a future-proof approach to compliance with data protection and AI regulations. Global data protection and AI regulation are currently undergoing a major transformation. In the data sector, stringent regulations have already been legislated, notably in Europe and the US, and enforcement is gradually being tightened, and the propagation of regulations to emerging countries has commenced. In the AI sector, the EU has proposed legislation for stringent regulations, and a regulatory competition is emerging across the globe. In the rapidly evolving area of data protection and AI regulation, closely monitoring legislative developments in the countries and regions with significant business interests will be effective in ensuring that companies’ compliance efforts are future-proof.

Third, we aim to discover and foster a new breed of “Data Protection & AI Regulatory Consultant” specialists with a focus on overseas data protection and AI regulation. A growing number of people are becoming increasingly involved in data protection regulatory tasks on a day-to-day basis across a wide range of companies, organizations and institutions, including Japanese law firms, consulting firms, operating companies, funds, or public and government agencies. We offer attractive opportunities for people seeking to advance their careers as specialists in overseas data protection and AI regulation.

We are looking for highly motivated professionals interested in joining us to explore the frontiers of regulatory consulting by providing consultancy on the future regulatory landscape for our clients’ strategically important business areas.
