From Prosecutor to Solo Practitioner: A Tokyo-Based Lawyer’s Career Shift After Judicial Training

A former public prosecutor who served within the Tokyo and Nara District Public Prosecutors Offices has transitioned into private legal practice to provide specialized criminal defense services.

The attorney has established a private office following a career in government service and a subsequent period of experience at a law firm located in Tokyo.

The legal practice is currently offering specialized guidance regarding violations of the Firearms and Swords Control Act. This professional advisory focuses on the legal ramifications for first-time offenders, specifically addressing the typical fines associated with such charges.

In addition to fee structures and fines, the attorney provides analysis on the procedural flow that follows an arrest. The services include outlining the specific methods and legal strategies intended to help defendants seek non-prosecution.

The professional trajectory of the attorney began with the completion of required legal training, which led to an appointment as a public prosecutor. During this tenure, the individual served in both the Nara District Public Prosecutors Office and the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

After retiring from the public prosecutor’s office, the attorney gained further legal experience at a Tokyo-based law firm before opening an independent private practice.

By leveraging experience from both the public prosecution sector and private firm practice, the attorney provides targeted counsel for individuals navigating the Japanese criminal justice system under the Firearms and Swords Control Act.
