Fujinami Legal Notes
A calm meeting room prepared for a mediation session

Arrive at mediation composed, not surprised

Preparation for the summary court process, so the day itself holds no unfamiliar turns.

The promise

Preparation that covers how civil mediation at the summary court runs, what the mediators will ask, which documents to bring, and what range of settlement is reasonable to consider — so the process feels manageable rather than uncertain.

The problem

A mediation date has been set, or is likely to be, and the unfamiliarity of the process can be its own source of worry — separate from the underlying disagreement itself. Arriving without a clear sense of what to expect makes it harder to present a position well.

The solution

A two-hour preparation session works through the procedure step by step, how to present a sequence of events clearly, and what a reasonable settlement range would be, based on a review of your documents beforehand.

The experience

Your side of the channel

You bring the relevant documents and describe the dispute as you understand it, ahead of the session.

This office's side

Documents are reviewed, a two-hour session covers the procedure and presentation, and a short call follows the first mediation date.

The investment

¥16,800

This covers document review, a two-hour preparation session, a written summary of your position and a document list, plus a short call after the first mediation date.

The proof

Civil mediation settles a meaningful share of the commercial matters brought before it, particularly where both parties arrive with a clear and realistic sense of what an acceptable outcome would be. Preparation is aimed squarely at that.

The assurance

Preparation does not determine the mediation's outcome, which remains a matter for you and the mediators. It is intended to help you arrive ready, not to promise a particular result.

Next steps

Send a message with your mediation date if one is set, along with a brief description of the dispute, and a session can be arranged in good time.
