Question
Good evening
We are interested in setting up a development/liaison office of our company in Europe and we need legal and business advice.
For the location, we are considering Luxembourg, the UK, and Germany. In those countries we already have some established relationships with independent IT developers and potential clients/business partners. In terms of business formation, bureaucracy costs & cost of living, legal & business services, etc, what are the weak and strong points of those locations? Where would operation costs be lowest? Where can we best protect our IP?
We are a small company operating out of Tokyo. We develop software solutions that create top-speed, highly efficient software interfaces between smartphones and IoT Devices. At the new location we would hire some new staff for development and sales.

Dear Sirs,
I would recommend that you also consider Ireland as a location for your development/liaison office. 9 out 10 of the world's Global Software (e.g. GOOGLE, FACEBOOK & LINKEDIN) and Pharmaceutical (e.g. ELI LILLY & PFIZER) companies locate out of Ireland and in its latest report the prestigious business publication, Forbes, listed Ireland as the best place to do business. I am an Intellectual Property lawyer with over 20 years experience in the field of IP and work closely with partners in Ireland to assist and advise companies to locate here. I previously worked for an IP holding company based in a low tax jurisdiction so have experience in this area. Please contact me for a free consultation. I look forward to being of assistance to you.
