Efficient, Practical and Value-Based Attorney and Advisor


Can I help you? As an international attorney and counselor at law licensed in several jurisdictions and former executive and General Counsel of a US Fortune 500 company, I provide legal and advisory services in Japan which are efficient, practical and tied to the value to you. I help both business companies and individuals –– international and Japanese –– including large, small and family companies. While I have long experience in US and other international matters, I have been doing business in Japan and Asia since the 1960s and as a “Gaikokuho Jimu Bengoshi” or licensed foreign lawyer, my law firm has been based in Osaka, Japan since the early 1990s. In that time, I have developed ties in the business community and the corridors of power in Japan that are very useful.
