Japan and United Kingdom: Nexus – UK Japan Connect Newsletter | January 2026

In brief

Welcome to the January edition of Nexus, the newsletter from Baker McKenzie’s UK Japan Connect. We hope you all had a joyous Christmas, Shōgatsu and any other festivity you celebrate, and wish you a wonderful start to 2026.

If you missed out on any of our earlier editions, you can read them here: UK Japan Connect.

We begin this edition by presenting our ‘2026 Legal Trends to Watch’ – a series of articles in which our leading practitioners share their predictions for the year ahead and practical insights which may be of benefit to your business. We also hear from the UK Department of Business and Trade’s Darren Goff – who shares his insights on, amongst other things, Anglo/Japanese cooperation in the automotive sector – and we report on UK Japan Connect’s (UKJC) activities in late 2025.

As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions for future topics and features. Please contact us through the usual channels with any comments or questions.
