Our Services

The majority of traditional judicial scrivener (also known as “Shiho-Shoshi Lawyer”) firms are primarily active in settlement of real estate transactions, or the providing of inheritance, guardianship and other legal services for normal citizens.

In contrast, few firms engage in pursuit of the legal administrative procedures necessary for corporate registration as their primary field of business, even in Tokyo or other major urban areas. As a result, it can prove difficult to locate a suitable specialist capable of handling corporate legal affairs.

The aim of Sigri Office is to excel as a firm capable of handling not only registration procedures, but also other administrative services based on the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act, the Antimonopoly Law and other related laws and regulations. We are equipped to handle the legal administrative procedures necessary for companies, in close collaboration with lawyers and other experts specializing in corporate legal affairs.

The “Sigri” Story

“Sigri” is a term coined by our representative, Yuhei Okamoto, upon his decision to open a new office in pursuit of the aforementioned vision.

The written character for “Si” roughly translates as “judicial officer.” This nuance seeks to convey the determination to act in that capacity through contributions to both clients and society at large.

“Gri” is the character for “chestnut.” Chestnut tree wood is renowned for its use as a building material that is hard, heavy and highly resistant to decay. It was incorporated into our name to underscore the quest to serve as a solid and reliable business partner.

As we know, the traditional naming of professional companies consists of “last name (or surname) + office.” Sigri, however, is determined not to follow that style based on precedent. Our aim, rather, is to excel as an workplace keenly attuned to the current era, exercising creativity in mounting flexible responses to the ever-changing status and needs of society.
