Thank you for visiting our office's website.
I have been involved in numerous cross-border legal matters including international
divorce, international inheritance, and immigration cases. These fields require not
only legal knowledge and procedures but also direct engagement with the diversity of
cultures, languages, family values, and nationalities that form their background.
Therefore, the anxieties and feelings of isolation experienced by our clients can be
incomparably deeper than in domestic cases.
The philosophy we uphold is the realization of "fairness and justice," "international peace,"
"a society open to foreign nationals," and "a society where people can respect
each other regardless of race, creed, or color." This philosophy is not
merely a slogan but an unwavering value I have strongly felt throughout my career as
an attorney.
Japanese society is now in the midst of a great wave of internationalization. Kyoto
continues to transform into a city where many foreign tourists and residents come
and go, and diverse cultures coexist. However, many foreign nationals face
difficulties without receiving proper legal protection due to language and
institutional barriers.
I believe that responding to such "voiceless voices" is the
mission required of modern attorneys.
Law exists to protect those in
vulnerable positions.
Without forgetting this fundamental principle, we stand by
each individual and do our utmost to guide them toward the best resolution. This
attitude is our unwavering guideline.
Furthermore, we hope that consultations at our office overlooking Kyoto's Shirakawa
will ease your burden even slightly and provide strength to take the next step
toward the future. Legal matters can be weighty themes that significantly affect
life's direction, but please feel free to consult us about any concern, no matter
how small.
We will continue to refine our expertise to protect everyone's rights and dignity,
and remain a law office that can contribute to society.
Thank you for your consideration.
Attorney Kanai Shingo
