YAMAGISHI, Kazuhiko
Successfully resolving an issue facing a client requires both comprehensive knowledge and experience, in order accurately to grasp the nature of the problem and map out the right solution, and specialized expertise in the exact field involved. While tapping into Asahi Law Offices’ collective strengths, I for my part aspire to wear both hats - those of both generalist and specialist.
