OUR PHILOSOPHY

Jingi, practised as how we work.

“Jin” is the heart that treats another person’s circumstances as one’s own. “Gi” is the resolve to choose the right path rather than the convenient one. We do not treat these as ornaments. We practise them by listening carefully, telling you the outlook honestly, and staying responsible beside you even when a case turns difficult.

  • 仁

    Jin — Compassion

    We consider each client’s circumstances and future as our own.

  • 義

    Gi — Sound judgement

    We do not hide what is unfavourable; we set out the right options.

  • 礼

    Rei — Respect

    We treat everyone with respect, whatever their nationality, standing or the size of the case.

  • 智

    Chi — Expertise

    We keep studying the law and the practice, and build positions that rest on evidence.

  • 信

    Shin — Integrity

    We keep our promises, our deadlines and our duty to explain.

REPRESENTATIVE

Hidetaka Kaneko, Representative

"Foreign clients in unfamiliar surroundings entrusted me with their anxieties — I am determined to live up to that trust."

After becoming an independent administrative scrivener, my first work was greeting foreign technical interns at Narita Airport. People with different languages and cultures placed their trust in me despite their anxiety — answering that trust became my mission.

In early 2020, four Vietnamese trainees who tested positive for COVID-19 lost their place to recover. Together with my wife, Zhao Shiman, I decided to take them in and care for them at our own home.
