My Office and Practice
Located in Umeda (the central hub of Osaka, Japan), my law office shares space with a premier Japanese firm of Bengoshi (licensed lawyers) who are active as trial and business lawyers. That firm is consistently ranked as being among the top ten individual lawyers and law firms in Japan, as reported by “Nikkei Business.” With this resource, I can easily offer clients a range of Japanese and international services on business, family and personal financial issues.
Collaborative Approach
For decades, I have collaborated closely with top level business people and other attorneys. In fact, I have managed teams of up to eighty lawyers in different countries at one time. I have wide networks and relationships in the corridors of power that can be quickly brought into play, so that I can provide services as strong and effective as any large law firm — and frequently more efficiently.
In addition, I can select other attorneys, law firms and non-lawyer professionals, both in Japan and internationally, who may be best suited for your particular needs. I collaborate with and I am consulted by other Japanese lawyers, private bankers, accountants and financial planners to handle particular client requirements.
International Expertise, Full Capability
This approach combines international expertise and legal skills with full professional capability in English and Japanese.
Connections, Investment Opportunities and Asset Protection
Using connections in the worldwide business community, I frequently find commercial real estate and other investment opportunities in Japan for clients such as large international merchandisers, hotel chains and private equity investors. It is fair to say that I have brought them some extraordinary opportunities. I also help Japan clients with their investments or who need asset protection and wealth planning in other countries.
Privacy, Focus On You As the Client
Because of my leaner, more focused practice and fewer clients, unlike many larger firms, I tend to have few conflicts with foreign or Japanese clients and you can be assured of utmost confidentiality.
Comfort Zone
You can be confident that matters will be handled in a professional, confidential manner and in a way that you are comfortable. On other pages you can see a record of applying creative solutions that could be of value to you.
