Consultation Hours

Legal consultation will be provided from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays. In certain cases, legal consultation may be provided at night, in the early morning, or on Saturdays, Sundays or national holidays.

If our firm is engaged for a negotiation or lawsuit, an “Initial Fee” (Chakushu Kin) will be charged at the time of engagement and a “Success Fee”(Seikou Hoshu Kin) will be charged on any recovery upon completion of the engaged matter. Please note that the Initial Fee will not be refundable even if there is no economic recovery. The Success Fee will be only payable on completion of the matter, and will be charged in addition to the Initial Fee. The Initial Fee and Success Fee will be calculated based on the economic amount, the complexity of the matter and the estimated work hours to be spent, except for divorce and criminal cases which are calculated as set forth below. The details of the legal fees will be communicated to the client at the time of engagement.

With respect to divorce cases involving (i) a distribution of property, (ii) damages for mental suffering, (iii) custody, (iv) children’s educational expensesand/or (v) any other monetary demands, legal fees assessed on the economic benefits obtained for the client, or economic obligations from which the client is released, will be discussed and agreed with the client at the time of the engagement. Please contact us for further information.

※The above amounts may be decreased or increased in certain cases depending upon the complexity of the matter and the estimated work hours to be spent.

For companies and self-employed persons, we may be able to offer an hourly charge system in place of the initial fee and success fee structure described above. Please contact us for the hourly rates for each lawyer.
