- International Inheritance, Personal Tax, and Estate Planning
We are among a select group of Japanese law firms offering tailor-made solutions to high-net-worth, non-Japanese individuals in the areas of estate planning and inheritance matters. Our diverse clientele comes from all regions of the world, and includes family business owners, company founders and investors.
International Expertise
As the world becomes more globalized, it is more important than ever to take an international approach to matters impacting high-net-worth individuals. Succession and tax laws vary enormously from country to country, as do certain aspects of family law. To properly serve our clients, we regularly consult with affiliated lawyers in other jurisdictions, and employ three full-time US-licensed attorneys.
One-Stop Shop
International inheritance and estate planning matters are complicated under the best of circumstances. That’s why we take advantage of our global network of law firms and accounting firms to offer a full range of services covering legal, tax, and financial issues. We also work closely with the client’s own advisors (including attorneys, accountants, and investment firms). This integrated approach produces the most seamless solutions, fewer costs, and less stress.
Getting to Know You
Each client’s unique circumstances and particular long-term goals mean that no two cases are alike. Because inheritance and estate planning matters can be so personal and sensitive, we take the time to learn about each client’s objectives and family situation before recommending a course of action. Thinking “big picture” maximizes the likelihood of a satisfying, long-term solution that meets the needs of everyone involved.
