Legal Services in Japan for International Clients

I offer legal advice to foreign clients in Japan, especially in situations that require an accurate understanding of the Japanese legal system and clear communication in an international context.

My practice focuses on three main areas: criminal defense, international inheritances, and commercial disputes.

【1. Criminal Defense】

If you have been arrested or are being investigated in Japan, it is crucial to act quickly.

The Japanese penal system can be complex for those unfamiliar with it, especially in detention situations.

Services:

Immediate assistance after arrest
Visits to detention centers
Assistance during interrogations
Negotiation of agreements with the affected party (settlement agreements)
Defense strategy from early stages
Communication with prosecutors
Preparation of mitigation documents
Defense after the filing of charges (stage after the indictment)
Applications for release on bail
Advice on the impact on immigration status and visas

👉 An appropriate response from the start can significantly influence the outcome.

【2. International Heritage】

Inheritances in Japan can become complex when there are heirs abroad.

Legal differences, procedures, and language often create additional difficulties.

Services:

Advice on the Japanese succession system
Representation in negotiations between heirs
Proceedings before the family court
International Documentation Coordination

👉 A clear strategy can prevent unnecessary conflicts.

【3. Trade Disputes】

Assistance in legal disputes related to business activities in Japan.

Especially in cases involving foreign companies or international contractual relationships.

Services:

Contract analysis
Negotiation with the counterparty
Pre-litigation and litigation strategy

【Why work with me】

Each case requires a strategy tailored to its specific circumstances.
