Lynn F. Pickard

I have had the privilege of working at Kojima Law Offices for over 30 years.
We have grown considerably and I've enjoyed collaborating with our attorneys as they serve our clients on all aspects of Japanese corporate/commercial law.
Our lawyers are dedicated to helping our Japanese and foreign clients obtain the best results.
We have a friendly, stable staff to reliably fulfill our mission.
Good work requires a team that communicates well and understands the needs of our clients.
