About the fee： |
The Bar Association’s regulations
on a lawyer’s fee were abolished at the end of March, 2004. As it
is difficult for us to set a fee without any standard, the figures
in these former regulations will be used as a basis for calculation.
However, since a lawyer’s fee can vary considerably, depending on
the scale of the case, its degree of complexity, etc., this standard
is not always applicable. Therefore, the client and us will have to
consult each other to figure out the fee, on a case-by-case basis.
Typical rates are as follows: |
 |
| 1. Legal
counsel |
¥ 5,250 per 30 minutes |
|
| 2.
Consulting fee |
| Corporation |
¥52,500 or more
per month, |
| |
depending on the quantity of
consultation, company scale, etc. |
| Non-corporation |
¥5,250 or more
per month |
|
| ※As a rule, once a consulting contract
is made, oral consultation will not be charged regardless of its quantity. |
|
| 3. Civil
trial |
The fee consists of a deposit and
a remuneration: A deposit, the fight money, so to speak, is to be
paid when the case is taken up, and is not affected by the resulting
success or failure. On the other hand, a remuneration is to be paid
in accordance with the degree of our success in the case; therefore,
no remuneration will be generated in the case of absolute failure
on our side.
Both amounts are determined on the basis of the economic benefit
each case will bring us.

For example, in the case of a lawsuit
to collect a loan of 10,000,000 yen, a standard deposit will be 590,000
yen, and if the entire sum is successfully collected, the remuneration
will be 1,180,000 yen. However, these amounts can vary according to
the degree of difficulty and other factors. Therefore, a substantial
amount of reduction is possible depending on the case. |
