High quality service and reasonable legal fees

We deliver high quality legal services at a reasonable fee, made possible by eliminating inefficiency in our operations.

Reasonable attorney fees High fees at major law firms are often the result of over-staffing cases with a partner lawyers and junior associate lawyers who contribute very little to the actual resolution of the case. At Kamimura & Partners, we provide top quality legal services at reasonable rates by assigning the minimum number staff sufficient for each case.   about Legal Fees

Legal services can be provided in English and Chinese

Members of our attorneys are fluent and able to provide legal services in both English and Chinese.

Negotiation can also be conducted in English and Chinese Although there is an increasing number of law firms able to provide foreign companies with legal services, in reality, there are very few Japanese attorneys capable of conducting negotiations in English or Chinese. Attorneys at Kamimura Ohira & Mizuno are competent in English and Chinese and dedicated to providing the best legal service to our foreign clients.   High quality documentation in English and Chinese Our attorneys have experience working at major domestic and international law firms in Japan, as well as at law firms overseas and major investment banks, where business was routinely conducted, and documentation was prepared in English and/or Chinese.

The insights of these members enable us to provide legal services with a business perspective. Solution oriented legal advise At Kamimura Ohira & Mizuno, we do not simply provide "yes" or "no" responses to our client's questions. We always seek to provide advice which leads to our client’s best solutions.

Reduce costs by avoiding a monthly legal advisor retainer fee

No monthly retainer fee At most law firms, it is customary for clients to be required to pay a monthly legal advisor fee (between 50 and 300 thousand Japanese Yen per month) regardless of whether they have been provided service or not. At Kamimura & Partners, we believe that it is unreasonable to receive a fee from a client we are not actively serving, so we have eliminated the monthly retainer fee.   Priority handling Clients who have registered in our Retainer Fee Free System benefit from priority handling of cases. Furthermore, clients who have paid an initial deposit benefit from top priority handling of cases. Legal services are provided by an attorney who specializes in corporate law While there are many law firms employing the retainer fee system, it is common that the assigned attorney is not familiar with corporate or international law and cannot handle the needs of corporate clients. At Kamimura Ohira & Mizuno, we provide attorneys who specialize in corporate and international law to best handle the needs of our corporate clients.
