Greetings
Since its establishment in Ginza, Tokyo in 1988, Hijikata Law & Accounting Office has handled a number of legal consultations. We have each year enhanced our personnel, including lawyers and other staff members, and have mainly dealt with problems faced by Japanese companies and Japanese subsidiaries of international companies. Recently, law firms are required to have abilities to handle issues concerning management strategies, to address financing schemes and accounting treatment and to communicate with foreign executives as a result of globalization.

The characteristics of Hijikata Law & Accounting Office are our excellent abilities in handling management strategies, dealing with financing schemes and accounting treatment as well as communicating with foreign executives. Such characteristics enable us to address a wide range of needs of our corporate clients. Corporations today face a variety of problems from misunderstandings with clients to compliance issues, risk management, labor disputes arising from restructuring, corporate reorganization including spin-off and business transfer, and consultation on the establishment and management of Japanese subsidiaries of global companies.
