Practices
For over 10 years as a public prosecutor, I handled investigations and trials of various cases, including drug-related crimes and economic and corporate crimes. During my time in the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, I was a member of the Financial Affairs Group and worked numerous tax evasion cases.
In addition to criminal cases, during my time as a lawyer, I was also involved in matters such as M&A, handling of general shareholders' meetings, labor issues, and crisis management.
I hope to be able to use this experience to help our clients in any way I can.
