For consultations from overseas

For local cases, law suits need to be filed in the court that has jurisdiction based on the defendants’ place of residence. Normally a case can take 1 or 2 years to be solved. Nowadays the conference system by phone is introduced, so except special cases like interrogation of witnesses, lawyers do not necessarily need to appear in court. Thanks to the developed transportation system in Japan and the introduction of the telephone conference system, lawyers are able to handle cases in other areas of Japan.

Our law firm is able to accept cases from overseas against companies located anywhere in Japan or people residing in Japan.
