Over 180 Corporate Clients Under Retainer
We have entered into advisory contracts with more than 180 companies, providing daily legal consultations and contract reviews.
The legal issues we handle span a wide range of areas — not only labor law, subcontracting law, unfair competition prevention law, patent law, trademark law, personal information protection law, and consumer law — but also various regulatory laws such as the Health Insurance Act, the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act, the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, the Garage Act, the Warehouse Business Act, and the Industrial Safety and Health Act.
Our firm is therefore well equipped to handle legal matters across diverse fields.

Strong Collaborative Network with Specialists
Our firm operates an organization called “S-NET”, which serves as a platform for certified professionals — including tax accountants, labor and social security attorneys, judicial scriveners, and real estate appraisers — to consult with us on legal matters.
Currently, more than 140 professional offices are members of this network.
When we receive inquiries or requests from our corporate clients, we are able to provide advice and handle cases comprehensively, taking into account not only legal aspects but also tax, social insurance, registration, and real estate valuation considerations.

Over 90% of Inquiries Answered by the Next Day
When you consult with us, we provide answers immediately by phone, and for inquiries sent by email or fax, we respond by the following day.
Contracts are also reviewed and returned by email within one business day.
Although complex consultations or lengthy contracts may require additional time, more than 90% of all inquiries are answered within the next day.

Your Question Is Answered by a Lawyer Specializing in That Field
Most of the inquiries we receive from corporate clients concern specialized areas such as:
the Labor Standards Act and other labor-related laws, the Subcontract Act, intellectual property rights, the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, the Antimonopoly Act, the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, the Companies Act, harassment issues (sexual and power harassment), online defamation, real estate law, immigration law, the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act, the Waste Management Act, consumer law, business succession, and civil trusts.
At Green Leaf Law Firm, when we receive an inquiry by email, a lawyer who specializes in the relevant area prepares the response, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
We also have dedicated specialist teams for labor law and real estate law, as these are the areas in which we receive the greatest number of consultations.

Industry-Specific Legal Support
Our corporate clients span a wide range of industries — including manufacturing, real estate, construction and civil engineering, automobile sales and rental, nursing care and healthcare, transportation and logistics, wholesale and retail, and information technology.
We assign dedicated attorneys to each industry so they can gain a deep understanding of its specific practices and challenges.
In addition, our firm regularly holds internal study sessions on case law and practical examples to continuously enhance our collective knowledge and expertise.

① Japanese-Language Contracts
Contract reviews are conducted by attorneys who handle contract reviews on a daily basis.
In addition to identifying clauses that are disadvantageous or ambiguous for your company, we also use AI-powered contract review tools to ensure thorough analysis.
This enables us to point out not only problematic provisions but also clauses that ideally should have been included but were omitted.
Contracts are generally drafted in favor of the party who prepared them, so it is crucial to conduct a careful review to protect your company’s interests.
When drafting a contract, we first conduct an interview to understand the type of agreement you wish to create.
During the drafting process, we communicate any questions or unclear points by email, online meeting, or in person, and prepare the draft accordingly.
After presenting the draft, we make any requested revisions or additions through further correspondence until the contract is finalized.

② English-Language Contracts
We also review English-language contracts.
The basic approach is the same as for Japanese contracts: while reviewing the English text, we identify any clauses that are unfavorable or ambiguous for your company, and we also suggest provisions that should be added to better protect your interests.
As with Japanese contracts, English contracts are usually drafted to favor the party that prepared them. Therefore, careful review is essential to safeguard your company’s position.
When an English contract is presented by the other party, we review it in the same manner as described above.
Conversely, when your company is requested to present an English contract, we first conduct an interview to understand the intended content of the agreement.
After clarifying any questions through email, online meetings, or in-person consultations, we first prepare the Japanese version of the contract.
Once the Japanese version is finalized, we translate it into English to complete the English-language contract.
After reviewing or preparing the English contract, negotiations with the counterparty are often conducted online with the assistance of an interpreter.
If necessary, one of our attorneys can also attend and support you during these negotiations.

At our firm, most consultations from corporate clients are conducted by email or telephone.
In recent years, however, online consultations and meetings using platforms such as Zoom have been increasing.
Visiting a law firm in person for every consultation or meeting can be time-consuming, whereas online consultations and meetings significantly save time and make it possible to handle legal matters more efficiently.
In addition, once a month we distribute the “Green Leaf Newsletter” to our corporate clients by email, providing useful legal and business information tailored to their needs.
At Green Leaf Law Firm, we make full use of web conferencing systems, email, and telephone communication, allowing us to provide consultations and hold meetings with clients anywhere in Japan.
