We at Shiodome Partnerswill continue to provide

a true “One Stop Service”to our clients.

The Shiodome Partners Group is made up of a variety of professional firms and members, such as Shiodome Partners Limited, which offers business consulting services; Shiodome Partners Tax Corporation, which specializes in accounting and taxation advisory; Shiodome Partners Law Firm, which provides corporate legal affair, litigation, and dispute resolution services; Shiodome Certified Insurance & Labor Consulting Firm, with services focused on human capital, and labor management and regulation;

Shiodome Partners Gyoseishoshi Corporation, which offers services related to the drafting and preparation of various documents; Shiodome Judicial Scrivener Firm, which assists clients with procedures related to commercial registration, real estate registration, and inheritance registration; Shiodome Sea Agency Firm, which specializes in maritime legal affairs.

From ventures that are in their early stages to listed companies excelling in their own industries, we offer a unique experience as a professional firm that can keep up with our clients at every stage. To accommodate clients engaged in expanding their businesses internationally, our team also consists of bilingual staff proficient in languages such as English and Chinese.

As the business landscape changes dramatically with time, we, as a professional team, are also constantly thinking of ways we can improve our service for our clients and acting on these ideas. Our society nowadays is growing more concerned with matters such as business compliance. We believe that to keep up with the dramatically changing times, it is important that business support is provided in a fused, consolidated effort, rather than separately.

Our group started with accountants; this later expanded to include lawyers, tax accountants, social insurance consultants, judicial scriveners, patent attorneys, maritime judicial scriveners, strategy consultants, IT consultants, labor consultants, investment bankers, and a variety of other professionals in its network. Making the most of this wide network, we will continue to provide to our clients the services and business support that best matches their needs as time continue to move.

In June 2018, Shiodome Partners became affiliated with PKF International, a global network. As such, we will continue to focus on further overseas business development.

With the “Client-first Principle” as our motto, we will continue to grow and make further efforts in providing better service for our clients. We hope to continue receiving your further support and cooperation in our efforts.

As a professional group,we offer “Trust” and “Solutions”.
