Profile

Yuko provides business-oriented legal support to help entrepreneurs start their businesses by resolving legal questions related to new business models and services. Born and raised in Kamakura City, Yuko finds relaxation in gazing out at the ocean. She recently took up kendo, somewhat by chance, and finds herself moved by glimpses of a world she never knew existed. That same joy in embracing a new challenge is something she feels as a lawyer, too, when accompanying clients through the challenges of a new business.
