TOP > Our Policy and Mission
Our main clients have been both individuals and small and medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). We believe it is our mission to contribute to society by sincerely supporting businesses which face legal risks including legal disputes, management crises and development of new businesses, and citizens who struggle with unexpected troubles or accidents. No corporation or citizen is free from waves of globalization. Trust, integrity, professionalism and high ethics are important values pursued and kept by us. We understand that trust for service quality and fees is the critical element for international clients who are looking for trustworthy attorneys through web information. Through experience, we understand the specific needs of small corporations and citizens.
Our attorneys have been actively dealing with social problems including environmental issues and human rights issues. One of our goals is promotion of public interests by encouraging young attorneys to actively engage in pro bono activities. We back up non-profit organizations and social entrepreneurs so that we can make the world better. Especially, we have been active in environmental protection activities including waste issues, soil contamination, protection of nature, and global warming issues. Our members teach specialized fields of laws at law schools (kwansei Gakuin Law School, Osaka University Law School) or have lectures at junior high school or high school in daily-life-law education.
More and more SMEs operate business in East Asian countries including China or have transactions with them in order to expand their business or survive in a shrinking Japanese market. We have been developing professional network with Chinese law firms to strengthen our support for SMEs engaging in China-related business. Mr.Chen WeiXiong, a Chinese attorney and partner of C&I Partners (Guangdong), is our business partner in connection with Chinese matters.http://www.etrlawfirm.cn/En/Index.aspx
Asia, especially China and South-East Asian countries are center of rapid economic growth in the world. On the other hand, environmental problems like air pollution, water pollution, flood of urban waste and deforestation are serious social problems. We deal with those international environmental issues in the local area with a partnership with lawyers and environmental protection groups in East Asian countries through Japan Environmental Lawyers Federation.
