Office Overview

Illuminating your future
as a compass

Hokuto Sogo Law Office is a law firm with four offices located in Tokyo, Sapporo, Asahikawa, and Sendai.
Our core practice areas include business restructuring and insolvency law, insurance law and insurance business law, corporate acquisitions and reorganizations, healthcare legal affairs, and compliance services. Depending on the case, attorneys from Tokyo, Sapporo, Asahikawa, and Sendai collaborate to provide a wide range of legal services, primarily focused on corporate law.
The name “Hokuto” originates from the Big Dipper constellation, where multiple stars gather to shine brightly, serving as a guide to locate the North Star. It embodies our aspiration: “We aim to be a compass that unites the collective strength of all attorneys and staff participating in our firm, shining brightly to guide our clients toward a better direction.”
With this aspiration in mind, we are committed to providing legal services that accurately meet the needs of our clients.

Strength in the corporate sector

Hokuto specialises in corporate sectors such as business restructuring, healthcare, public health, and investigative matters, having provided legal support for over 15 years.
As of 2025, we have a proven track record of consistently delivering results in restructuring cases, including enabling all clients to achieve business continuity.

Optimal team composition

In addition to our four distinct offices, each with its own specialisation, we occasionally form teams by engaging other law firms, accounting firms, and tax accountants’ practices.
This enables us to respond with the optimal structure tailored to the nature of your enquiry, the field involved, the location, and the timeframe required.

to engage with someone as a human being

When considering legal consultation, it is not uncommon to be at a pivotal point in your business or grappling with various personal conflicts. Rather than merely processing matters dispassionately from a legal perspective, we provide tailored advice that takes into account your business operations, your employees and business partners, and the diverse circumstances surrounding you.
