Fees

Lawyer’s fees are dependent on various factors: the type of case, the financial stakes involved, the amount of time we need to dedicate to the case to reach a resolution, and level of difficulty involved in handling the case to name a few. For the purpose of clarity and to allow our clients to have an idea of what costs our legal services involve in dealing with a given case, we basically reference a standardized formula created by the Japan Federation of Bar Associations in setting our fees. This formula was mandatory until 2004, but is still functions as a reference point upon which many firms still base their fees. Needless to say, we provide our prospective clients with an estimate of the costs involved before agreeing to a retainer.

Thank you for reading this far, and we look forward to serving you at Tokyo Kyodo Law Office.
