Foreign Law Attorney - Gaikokujimu Bengoushi
A foreign lawyer is a person who is qualified to practice law in a foreign country, is authorized to practice legal affairs related to foreign law in Japan, and is registered in the Japan Federation of Bar Associations. It is governed by the Special Measures Act on the Handling of Legal Affairs by Foreign Lawyers (1986), and its mission is to improve the quality of legal services related to foreign law and to facilitate international legal relations between citizens and companies. It is also an essential system as a prerequisite for Japanese lawyers to practice legal affairs abroad. The 1994 amendment to the law relaxed the regulations on reciprocity and joint venture relationships, and the 1998 amendment further relaxed the work experience requirement and expanded the scope of work. The 2003 amendment, as part of the judicial system reform, promoted collaboration and cooperation between lawyers and foreign legal consultants, and removed the provision prohibiting foreign legal consultants from employing lawyers.
