Kojima Law Offices launches domestic and international estate planning services

Due to strong demand over the past decade from high net-worth clients, MSI's Japanese law member Kojima Law Offices has recently added estate planning services to its well established international and domestic business law practice.

The key to successful estate planning is looking at the big picture and taking time to learn about the client’s unique circumstances. Differences between civil law countries like Japan and common law countries such as the US can lead to confusion and misunderstanding in the often complex estate planning area.

Kojima Law Offices provides advice on a broad range of estate planning matters, from wills to complex gifting strategies, as well as trusts, business succession and charitable donations. The firm is available to assist individuals with their estate planning needs, whether those individuals are business owners, high-ranking executives, or young entrepreneurs and their families. The ultimate goal at Kojima Law Offices is to achieve clients’ objectives while minimising the stress and complication that can often accompany international estate planning.
