Verybest Law Offices

What Verybest Law Offices does

Verybest Law Offices (ベリーベスト法律事務所) is a private Japanese comprehensive law firm (弁護士法人) headquartered in Roppongi, Tokyo, operating 76 office locations across Japan as of June 2026 — claimed to be the largest office count among Japanese law firms — with approximately 440 lawyers. Founded in 2010, the firm serves two primary customer segments: individual clients seeking legal representation for personal matters (divorce, inheritance, traffic accidents, labor issues, criminal defense, debt restructuring, consumer issues, and immigration), and corporate clients (over 2,000 under advisory retainer contracts as of September 2025) requiring ongoing legal advisory across M&A, corporate governance, labor, IP, crisis management, contracts, and international matters. The firm employs a hybrid business model combining case-based professional service fees with monthly subscription retainers starting at ¥3,980/month, complemented by a freemium first-consultation offer for individuals.

The firm operates within the broader Verybest Group, which comprises ten wholly-owned affiliated professional services entities spanning tax accounting, social insurance, patent, administrative scrivener, M&A advisory, real estate, escrow, privacy, technology, and finance consulting — enabling one-stop multi-disciplinary service delivery. Go-to-market relies on television advertising (the "ベストを超えろ" / "Beyond Best" CM campaign), extensive SEO-optimized legal content across practice-specific subdomains, public seminars, and referrals, supported by a structured lawyer recruitment program. Technology integration is nascent: in March 2026, the firm adopted Legalscape Inc.'s AI-powered legal research platform for civil practice areas. Distribution is anchored in physical office access (including home-visit consultations), with no app, API, or SDK products. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no external investors are identified.
