Sebastian Blasius

Registered Foreign Lawyer

Sebastian Blasius ist seit 2015 als Rechtsanwalt in Singapur tätig. Er gehört zu den wenigen deutschen Anwälten, die auch zur Beratung im singapurischen Recht zugelassen sind (gemäß Sec. 36B des Legal Profession Act 1966 und den darauf basierenden Vorschriften). Herr Blasius ist auf die wirtschaftsrechtliche Beratung von Unternehmen aus der DACH-Region und deren südostasiatischen Konzerngesellschaften spezialisiert.

Im Laufe seiner Karriere hat Herr Blasius Organisationen aller Größen und Lebensphasen betreut – von neu gegründeten Start-ups bis hin zu etablierten Unternehmen und von Einzelunternehmen bis hin zu globalen Konzernen. Er berät umfassend zu allen Kernthemen des Wirtschaftsrechts, insbesondere zu den Bereichen Gesellschafts- und Arbeitsrecht und zum allgemeinen Vertragsrecht.

Einen besonderen Fokus legt Herr Blasius auf das Datenschutzrecht. Er ist von der International Association of Privacy Professionals als „Certified Information Privacy Professional“ für Asien und Europa akkreditiert und übernimmt für seine Mandanten regelmäßig die Rolle des externen Datenschutzbeauftragten.

Herr Blasius blickt auf eine juristische Ausbildung mit konstant exzellenten Ergebnissen zurück. Neben seinen deutschen Staatsexamina hat Herr Blasius im Juni 2024 die singapurischen „Foreign Practitioner Examinations“ erfolgreich abgelegt.

Regelmäßig veröffentlicht Herr Blasius Analysen und Einschätzungen zu aktuellen rechtlichen Entwicklungen, sowohl im lokalen als auch im internationalen Kontext. Zudem hält er Vorträge, Seminare und Schulungen zu diesen Themen.

Herr Blasius spricht fließend Deutsch und Englisch und arbeitet in seiner Freizeit daran, seine Spanischkenntnisse zu erweitern.

Bevor er zu Gateway stieß, war Herr Blasius Partner in einer der größten deutschen Anwaltskanzleien in Südostasien und leitete dort die Datenschutzpraxis.
