Three services, each suited to a different starting point
Whether you are a company preparing your documents, an employee weighing a decision, or somewhere in between, one of these is likely a reasonable place to begin.
Return homeA brief introduction
Each of the three services below addresses a different kind of question — one about documents, one about an individual's circumstance, and one about internal policy. None requires you to already know exactly which service you need; a short message is enough for us to point you toward the right one.
The three services
Employment Rules Review
A review of your work rules and contracts against current statutory requirements, with findings cited to the relevant provision.
- ■ One document set, two-week turnaround
- ■ Suggested revised wording included
- ■ Suited to companies nearing ten employees
Individual Consultation
A private hour to understand your position before deciding what, if anything, to do — held in Kyoto or online.
- ■ One hour, in person or online
- ■ Written summary included
- ■ No course of action recommended
Workplace Policy Drafting
Preparation of a single internal policy, written from how your company actually operates.
- ■ Three weeks, one revision round
- ■ Plain-language staff summary included
- ■ Suited to formalising informal practice
How to choose
If you are unsure, the situation you are in is usually a fair guide.
If you manage a company approaching ten employees or with documents unrevised for years, the Rules Review is the natural starting point.
If you are an employee facing a transfer, non-renewal, or unrecorded overtime, the Individual Consultation gives you a clear picture first.
If a practice has grown informally at your company and needs to be written down, Policy Drafting turns it into something usable.
If none of these describes your situation precisely, a short message is enough for us to suggest the closest fit.

What every engagement includes
Regardless of which service you choose, you can expect scope agreed in writing before work begins, a clear citation of the reasoning behind any finding, and a document you keep at the end — a review, a summary, or a policy.
On the investment
Fees reflect the time and scope of each service, agreed before any work begins. There are no additional charges beyond what is stated, and no follow-on work is proposed unless you raise it yourself.
Questions before deciding
Can I start with a consultation and move to a rules review later?
Yes. Each service is independent, and starting with the smaller of the two is a reasonable way to see how we work.
Do consultations happen only in Kyoto?
No. Individual consultations are held at the Kyoto office or online, whichever suits you.
What happens after I send a message?
We reply describing how we can help and what it would involve, with no obligation attached to that reply.
