# Working with Lawyers and Consultants in Japan — Overview

This section covers Japan's legal system, the difference between types of legal specialists, typical consultation prices and practices, useful official resources, and the cross-cutting problem of how a foreigner's name is written across different documents (Latin script, katakana, kanji).
