Law (general)
Im Bereich des Zivilrechts ist die zivilrechtliche Deliktsfähigkeit - so wie die Geschäftsfähigkeit – Teil der Handlungsfähigkeit. Auch hier will im österreichischen Recht die Deliktsfähigkeitsgrenze, die beim vollendeten 14. Lebensjahr liegt, junge Menschen vor dem harten Zugriff des Rechts schützen.

This is a standard neutral expression in English.
"Iron fist" is too emotive, and "harsh reach" is not an authentic-sounding collocation

protect from the iron fist of the law
I understand this as a metaphor, comparing the law to a being that can use its arms or hands to access or grab something (Zugriff).
A workable English solution seems to me to be “the iron fist of the law”, which is used in these contexts:
Graham Henry: The iron fist of the law isn't the answer to smoking in cars
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/news-opinion/graham-henry...
The iron fist of the law
https://www.pressreader.com/uk/the-church-of-england/2012092...
https://www.churchnewspaper.com/28071/archives
There are probably several other examples around.

protect from the harsh reach of the law
“Iron fist” is a bit too cliched or “plakativ”. We need more modern language here and stick closer to the German.
Compare with this:
“Some of them committed first degree murder, and their parents were powerless to save them from the harsh reach of the law.”
