Usually, we use hourly charges. Our fees are calculated as the number of hours our professional used for your case times the individual hourly rate of that particular professional. The current individual hourly rates of our professionals fall in the range of JPY 33,000 and JPY 66,000, depending upon their respective skills, expertise and experiences. Sometimes, we use the retainer and contingent fees when it looks more appropriate for a particular case or suits the need of a client. The retainer will be a fixed amount calculated as a quotient of the expected economic benefit (including the reduction of loss) you may gain from our work. It will be expressly set forth in the retainer agreement. The contingent fee will be another quotient of the amount of your actual economic gain (including the reduction of loss) , and its calculation formula will be stated in the retainer agreement.
At the end of each month, we will prepare an invoice together with a time sheet and send them to you for your review. The payment is usually due in thirty days from the date of such an invoice.
