Reviews

Thinking that there was nothing I could do, I searched for a lawyer on the internet, and consulted him over the phone and in person, but Dr. Higuchi was able to accurately understand my intentions and immediately suggested a countermeasure. I decided to do it. I was worried that it would take a long time to resolve the matter, but since I was told that there is a lawyer I have close ties with overseas, the unknown heir was quickly found, negotiations went smoothly, and the matter was resolved in a short period of time. 1. Speed ​​of understanding the purpose of the request. 2.International network. 3. Appropriate situation reporting. 4. Quick response to questions and consultations. This was my first time hiring a lawyer, and he was very helpful. If there is anything I need to do in the future, I would like to ask Mr. Higuchi. (Bengo.com)

While searching for an international lawyer to enter into a management contract with a foreign hotel chain, I was fortunate enough to meet Attorney Higuchi and secured an advisory contract with him in 2013. Among all the Japanese individuals I know, including those from foreign companies, Attorney Higuchi stands out with his English proficiency, especially his negotiation skills in English. He is strategic, possesses great judgment and decision-making abilities, and is quick to respond—even when emailed late at night. Above all, he has an extensive network and a commendable character. Not only clients but also peers in the industry hold him in high regard. I am a big fan of Attorney Higuchi. Our company not only manages hotels but also real estate and restaurants. We consult with Attorney Higuchi, who has a broad range of knowledge, on everything from customer complaints, real estate issues, drafting contracts for new real estate purchases, to personal matters. Although our company is located in a regional city, whenever there's an issue, Attorney Higuchi is always willing to fly in from Tokyo to support us, for which we are truly grateful. (Bengo.com)
