OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our Philosophy

Upholding universal values of fairness and justice,
delivering the power of law to all people.

We uphold the universal values of fairness and justice as our fundamental principle. Law should be applied equally to all people, and its power serves as the foundation supporting social order and security, transcending differences in nationality, language, and culture. As legal professionals, our office is committed to delivering these values to as many people as possible through sincere dedication to our duties.

In recent years, globalization has significantly transformed our lifestyles, family structures, and work systems, with a rapid increase in foreign nationals and people with international backgrounds living in Japan. In this social context, many people face complex legal systems while experiencing misunderstandings, disadvantages, and feelings of isolation arising from language and cultural differences. Our office considers it our mission to stand by all those who harbor such anxieties and to serve as part of the legal infrastructure for realizing a "society welcoming to foreign nationals."

Furthermore, our office strongly desires to realize a society where everyone can live with dignity, regardless of race, creed, religion, color, gender, or cultural background. The international divorce, international inheritance, and immigration law matters we deal with daily are not merely legal issues but themes deeply connected to "individual lives themselves." Therefore, we carefully listen to our clients' feelings, clearly organize complex issues, and strive to present the best solutions to ensure our clients' rights and dignity are maximally protected.

Moreover, in dealing with cross-border legal issues, we keenly realize that peaceful and stable societies are supported by attitudes that recognize diversity and a culture of mutual respect. Our office is convinced that by sincerely addressing each case, engaging in dialogue, and leading to fair and just resolutions, we ultimately contribute to the promotion of international peace.

What we aim for is not merely an office that responds to legal consultations.

To be a presence that transforms clients' anxieties into hope and supports their life journey.
And to become agents who create a better society through the power of law.

With this philosophy as our foundation, we will continue to pursue learning, and with sincerity and expertise, address international legal matters.

REPRESENTATIVE MESSAGE

Kajita Jun, Attorney at Law

Tokyo and Kyoto Offices

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 Kajita Jun
