Jun Kajita (Representative lawyer)

Since being admitted to the practice of law as an attorney, I have received requests from many clients – both individ-ual and corporate – and have taken charge of a wide range of civil and criminal matters.
In particular, over the last few years, I have devoted myself to civil issues involving international elements (e.g.,
international family issues and immigration cases), thereby deepening my knowledge and experience. To date, I
have handled hundreds of such matters, and I take pride in being one of the most experienced lawyers in Japan with ever-expanding expertise in this field. Our office will continue to handle international civil issues as a core part of our work while constantly striving to enhance our expertise in resolving a vast array of complex problems. If you are
facing international divorce, international inheritance, immigration, or other such complicated issues, please feel free to contact our office.

Anna Sakahashi

I spent three years of my early primary school years in a local school in the UK, surrounded by people of various nationalities, cultures and backgrounds.
Even though it took getting used to, and I was confused at first, I have strong memories of my friends, who accepted me and kindly taught me anything I wanted to know.
At the same time, I also learned during this time that there are many children who suffer and feel unhappy because of their family environment.
From this experience, I decided to become a lawyer because I wanted to work in a profession where I could reach out to vulnerable people who have difficulty escaping from their problems on their own.
If you are faced with a problem or incident and are worried about, we will work together to find the best solution, and I will devote myself to making you happy and helping you to lead a more fulfilling life.

Taiki Yunokuchi

“A license of attorney at law is a passport to cut into the world.”
This phrase was given to me by a lawyer when I was a student. This phrase inspired me to pursue a career as a lawyer, as I yearn for a lawyer who could be swift and active in order to protect people’s freedom.
As a child, I was taught English by the mother of a classmate who was a Filipino national. And as a student, I traveled alone to France, assisted in the development of laws in Vietnam, and studied abroad at an American law school.
With these experiences, I will sincerely work for clients from various cultural backgrounds and do my best to brighten their lives.

Ayaka Toyota

I chose to become a lawyer driven by the desire to help those in need through my knowledge of the law. After graduating from my high school in Japan, I pursued my education at a university in the United Kingdom and later returned to Japan for law school.
During my time in the UK, I had the opportunity to interact with students from various countries, exposing me to diverse perspectives. This experience allowed me to cultivate a flexible mindset, capable of comprehending situations from multiple angles.
As a lawyer, my goal is to assist individuals and communities facing challenging circumstances, aiming to bring about positive change in society. I will earnestly and wholeheartedly strive to provide full support to all clients to the best of my ability.

Uiko Murakami

In my high school days, I made a resolve to become a lawyer who work for people struggling in unfair conditions.
With a purpose in my mind to gain practical knowledges and skills to help people in need regardless their nationalities or backgrounds, I studied at Law school in the US.
“Do not judge your neighbor until you walk two moons in his moccasins” is my motto. It is meant to encourage empathy and advise us not to find a fault with someone without looking at his tears hidden away from view. I will listen to your story carefully and stand shoulder to shoulder with you to solve your problem.
