Gaiben.com(tm): In Japan, a foreign lawyer licensed under the Special Measures Law of 1986 to practice law is a Gaikokuho-Jimu-Bengoshi. “Gaiben” is a nickname. I was licensed in Japan in 1992, the first Gaiben in Western Japan, and I have used Gaiben.com(tm) as a brand since early 1997, when as best I could determine, this became the first law firm website in Japan.

What can I do for you? I run a family office practice. Do you need a fresh look at international estate planning in light of recent tax law changes? Do you need a health care directive or a will and trust package, but you are outside your home country — or you have a dual-nationality marriage, assets or heirs in two countries, or another matter that makes you worry that typical lawyers may not handle it properly? What about a new opportunity for your business, a need for succession planning to protect your family business or a cross-border dispute?
As an American lawyer licensed in Japan, with broad international experience, I concentrate on family office matters for both expats and Japanese nationals, including wills, revocable trusts, generation skipping and insurance trusts, wealth protection, business succession planning and investments.
I have had the good fortune to be trained at Columbia University Law School and its post-graduate international program on the subtleties of international law and tax issues, as well as in a Wall Street law firm and in four major multinational companies, and thus to have achieved success in a very wide variety of legal matters, ranging from trusts and estate matters for extremely wealthy individuals to investments, real estate, governance, M&A, court battles and other projects for large and small companies.
Can I help you? Please call and ask. On the following pages you can see a record of applying creative solutions from well beyond particular settings. I think you will find that while I am not a “discount lawyer” (none are cheap in Japan), I offer great value.
