CASSIOPEIA LAW FIRM

Striving for the best choice.
The name of our firm, “Cassiopeia Law Office,” is derived from the constellation Cassiopeia, which shines brightly in the northern sky.
Cassiopeia is a constellation composed of five stars, and because it is located near the North Star, it has been used as a landmark to find the North Star during navigation.
Our law firm was established by five attorneys who share the same vision, and we have identified with this constellation composed of five stars.
Just as the Cassiopeia constellation serves as a guide to locate the North Star for navigation, we aim to support our clients in overcoming disputes and conflicts, helping them find the right path forward.
