LEGAL CONSULTATION (STRATEGIC LEGAL ADVICE)
Legal consultation is a starting point to establish a relationship of mutual trust between attorneys and clients. Being fully aware of such importance of legal consultation, we actively provide thoughtful and thoroughly considered consultation on a wide array of legal issues. We also give clients prompt and appropriate advice on strategic schemes and negotiation approaches/techniques for each case from every possible aspect. In providing these services, we fully consider and address not only the legal issues but also the business management and tax issues that may affect clients’ actions and strategies. In offering our services, we give special priority to those clients who have entered into a regular retainer agreement with us.
CONTRACTS AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION
We draft and prepare a wide variety of documents and instruments, including contracts, agreements, memoranda, letters of intent, and various notices as required in transactions as well as in-house compliance manuals and legal commentaries for business entities. As these documents are important in preventing and settling disputes, we thoroughly interview clients to ensure a complete understanding of their true intentions and compose them from strategic point of view with our accumulated know-how to maximize the effectiveness of each document.
LEGAL OPINION
Today, business entities have become more aware of the importance of legal compliance and willing to obtain legal opinions from attorneys in various aspects of business management. We provide highly objective legal opinions pursuant to clients’ requirements. We are particularly specialized in providing legal opinions on issues relating to management decisions made by officers and directors under the fiduciary duties to their companies.
NEGOTIATION
In negotiations on business deals, taking into consideration of all legal aspects involved, we aim not only to obtain the best possible results for clients, but also to prevent any dispute in the future. We proactively and committedly negotiate with the counterparty to reach an appropriate and reasonable deal for clients. In negotiations on dispute resolutions, based on our belief that to avoid legal proceedings such as litigation and achieve early dispute resolution can give rise to an advantage for clients, we are actively and persistently involved in negotiation so as to resolve the disputes appropriately and promptly.
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
We aim to resolve some types of legal disputes, which may not be resolved even by our earnest negotiations, by use of alternative dispute resolutions, such as conciliation/mediation (in court or out of court), arbitration and their combination. We recognize the importance of selecting the proper forum of dispute resolution so as to reach the best possible outcome to clients’ disputes.
LITIGATION AND OTHER LEGAL PROCEDURES
Attorneys are very evaluated their qualification when handling litigation, the ultimate dispute resolution procedure. Prior to setting foot in the courtroom, we discuss the case in detail with clients, and map out a strategy based on proper legal construction derived from in-depth discussions among our attorney members involved. We also tenaciously and vigorously represent our clients’ interests in trial by making the best use of our expertise and know-how that have been accumulated through our engagements in a number of significant litigations involving a wide range of legal areas since our firm’s foundation. Where appropriate, we actively seek to obtain the best possible solution to our clients’ disputes through court settlement.
In securing future rights and achieving prompt resolutions of disputes, provisional remedies such as provisional attachment and provisional disposition are often crucial. We make every effort to enhance our agility and flexibility so as to obtain and execute provisional remedies as quickly as possible when needed. We further strive to ensure not only obtention of favorable legal judgments for clients, but also full enforcement thereof.
