Global Collaboration in Action: How Legal Netlink Alliance Connects Members in Real Time

Sep 16, 2025 – Tokyo to Rotterdam, Japan to Netherlands

At Legal Netlink Alliance, one of the most valuable benefits of membership is immediate access to a trusted network of highly qualified lawyers across the globe. In today’s world, legal applications and issues don’t always stop at national borders, and when clients need international insight, our members know they can rely on our network for assistance. 

Last week, we experienced this network in action. When Yu Matsushita with Keiwa Sogo Law Offices, a member firm in Japan, needed clarity on the international application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU residents, he turned to the network for support and knowledge sharing. Wilfred Veldstra, with Lamsma Veldstra & Lobé Advocaten, a member firm in The Netherlands, quickly replied with the help he requested. 

"Through Legal Netlink Alliance, we immediately accessed the right expertise across borders when a client needed clarity on GDPR. The referral came seamlessly, and within just 20 minutes, we had the guidance we needed to move forward. This experience underscores the power of LNA’s trusted network in delivering timely, high-quality solutions for our clients," said Yu.

By fostering this kind of cross-border collaboration, LNA not only strengthens the services to our members, but also elevates the value each firm can bring to their clients.
