Beyond expectations – the ARQIS Way of performing
One more idea, one different perspective, one step further: The ARQIS Way is different. It helps us to formulate our ideas and policies, act in accordance with our positions and visions, and develop our concepts and solutions. We research and optimise our solutions for as long as it takes to present viable options to our clients that not only surpass their expectations, but often also our own.
ARQIS is an independent law firm operating internationally. About 80 lawyers and legal specialists provide the highest standards of legal advice for domestic and foreign companies regarding key issues of German, European and Japanese commercial law. The partnership was founded in 2006. It has offices in Düsseldorf, Munich and Tokyo, as well as a talent hub in Berlin.
With the focus groups Transactions, HR.Law, Japan, Data.Law and Risk, the law firm offers holistic advice to its clients. We are both lawyers and consultants with a broad understanding of the workings of the business world in addition to our legal expertise. As lawyers we pursue our clients’ legal objectives and as consultants we pursue their business objectives. The combination of the two allows us to deliver results that extend beyond pure legal issues to embrace commercial solutions.
MAKE BUSINESS POSITIVE
The most important ESG objective is the harmonisation of corporate governance and corporate responsibility. It’s all about ensuring that a company’s business operations make a positive and sustainable contribution to keeping the environment intact for current and future generations.

PHILOSOPHY
The ARQIS Way reflects our law firm’s mission. We map out our own approaches to forming our ideas and policies, and to acting in accordance with our positions and visions, so that we can develop concepts and solutions that are perfectly tailored to our clients’ requirements.
ARQIS REDUCES THE CARBON FOOTPRINT
We have set out on the path to becoming CO2 neutral.
We obtained a very detailed picture of our carbon footprint for the years 2020 and 2021. In this several-month process we learned a great deal about our carbon emissions, especially the indirect emissions and value chain emissions (also called scope 3 emissions). Our law firm’s total carbon footprint for 2020 and 2021 is exactly 2,649 tonnes of CO2.
Our Awards
Our successes speak for themselves: we have already received several awards, including being named by Chambers Europe as a leading law firm in the field of Corporate/M&A and Employment Law, as well as being recognized by JUVE as one of the top law firms in Germany.
We are proud to be able to provide our clients with decisive advantages through our deep understanding of legal and economic relationships.
