Knowledgeable and Helpful with Real Estate

I worked with Attorney Shuji Koyama on a complex commercial property transaction, and his expertise in real estate law was evident from the start. He provided clear, practical advice and ensured every detail was addressed, which made a significant difference in the outcome. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Construction and Real Estate Law is well-deserved, as he demonstrated a deep understanding of both fields. While I appreciated his thoroughness, I wish his response time to follow-up questions could have been slightly faster. The cost was reasonable for the level of service, though a bit higher than anticipated. Overall, I’d highly recommend him for real estate or construction matters.

Professional but Room to Improve

I worked with Attorney Shuji Koyama on a commercial real estate transaction, and while he clearly has a strong background in construction and real estate law—backed by his recognition in those areas—my experience with his communication left something to be desired. He was knowledgeable about the nuances of Japanese property law and handled the legal complexities well, but responses to my emails were often delayed, and follow-ups required multiple reminders. The end result was satisfactory, but I expected a more proactive approach given his reputation. While his expertise in real estate law was evident, I felt the client experience could be more responsive. If you prioritize deep legal experience over regular, timely communication, he may be a good fit. For me, it felt like a 3-star service.

Knowledgeable but Could Improve Communication

I recently engaged Shuji Koyama for assistance with a complex real estate transaction involving international property. His expertise in construction and real estate law was evident, particularly his background at Atsumi & Sakai, a firm known for its depth in these areas. The Best Lawyers recognition also gave me confidence in his capabilities. However, while his legal advice was sound, the communication could have been more proactive. There were a few delays in responses, and I often had to follow up to get updates. The clarity of explanations was good, but the pace of communication left something to be desired. For someone with his level of experience, I expected a more streamlined process. That said, the final outcome was favorable, and his knowledge of construction-related real estate disputes proved invaluable. If communication were more consistent, this would have been a 5-star experience.
