Introduction to the Tokyo Kagurazaka Law Office

— Practical Legal Support Grounded in Medical and Legal Expertise —

The Tokyo Kagurazaka Law Office is a legal practice dedicated to providing specialized legal services in the field of healthcare. We serve physicians, medical institutions, and university hospitals both in Japan and abroad, addressing complex issues at the intersection of law and medicine with meticulous care and precision.

 

Our Areas of Practice

Our firm focuses on the following key areas:

• Medical malpractice, patient relations, and criminal defense for healthcare professionals

• Legal advocacy and workplace support for individuals suffering from chronic and acute pain

• Legal consultation on family law, debt collection, intellectual property, and bioethics

• Research, expert opinions, and legal analysis in the fields of medicine and life sciences

In one notable case, we secured an acquittal in a criminal trial where the core issue was whether a postoperative patient’s testimony had been influenced by hallucinations. Our defense incorporated forensic medical analysis to challenge the reliability of the testimony.

 

Academic Engagement

Alongside legal practice, our office is actively engaged in academic research across forensic medicine, pain management, and reproductive medicine. We collaborate with medical institutions and researchers worldwide, contributing to academic discourse through conference presentations and scholarly publications. This dual commitment to practice and research ensures the highest quality of legal support in medical contexts.

 

Current Research Areas Include:

• The legal theory surrounding physicians’ duty to treat (obligation to accept patients)

• Forensic evaluation of case law involving Wernicke’s encephalopathy

• Empirical research on the interface between healthcare systems and legal frameworks
