Our Services
We provide clear and attentive support for matters related to real estate, corporate procedures, and inheritance, as well as international cases and support for foreign companies in Japan.
Real Estate Registration
We assist with various real estate registration procedures, including ownership transfer registration related to the sale and purchase, gift, inheritance, and succession of land and buildings, as well as the registration and cancellation of mortgages and other security interests.
Our office also handles registration procedures related to cross-border real estate transactions, including registration of security interests in favor of overseas banks and registration of mortgages securing foreign currency-denominated obligations.
Corporate Registration
We assist with a wide range of corporate registration procedures, including the incorporation of Kabushiki Kaisha (KK) and Godo Kaisha (GK), preparation of Articles of Incorporation, changes of directors, relocation of registered offices, changes of trade names or business purposes, capital increases, and issuance of stock acquisition rights.
Our office supports corporate registration procedures related to cross-border matters, including incorporation of Japanese companies by foreign businesses, establishment of business offices by foreign companies, director changes, capital increases, and issuance of stock acquisition rights by foreign-affiliated companies.
International Inheritance
Our office supports cross-border inheritance procedures, including cases where a foreign national owned real estate in Japan or where heirs reside outside Japan.
International inheritance matters require legal analysis and document handling that differ from ordinary domestic inheritance cases, especially when the deceased was a foreign national, or when heirs reside overseas.
We also assist with matters such as reviewing foreign law, obtaining and translating overseas documents, handling signature certificates and affidavits, and considering issues related to wills, in cooperation with LPA Law Office where necessary.
Support for Foreign Companies Entering Japan and Corporate Registration
We support foreign companies considering entry into the Japanese market, from company formation to the procedures required to begin business operations in Japan.
Our services include incorporation of Japanese companies such as Kabushiki Kaisha (KK) and Godo Kaisha (GK), establishment of branch offices, appointment of representatives, corporate registration procedures, and legal considerations tailored to the nature of the business.
One-Stop Legal Services
Our office works closely with LPA Law Office and LPA Administrative Scrivener Corporation to provide comprehensive legal services to our clients.
LPA Law Office supports matters such as contract drafting, legal consultations, and dispute-related issues, while LPA Administrative Scrivener Corporation supports administrative licenses, permits, and immigration procedures. By working together, we provide coordinated support that makes full use of each professional field.
Clients do not need to search for multiple professionals separately. We provide efficient legal services through a single point of contact.
Multilingual Support
We provide consultations in English, French, and Portuguese.
We clearly guide foreign nationals, overseas residents, and foreign companies through Japanese registration, inheritance, and company formation procedures.
Even if you are unfamiliar with Japanese legal or registration systems, we will guide you through the required documents and procedures in a clear and attentive manner.
