Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 607 People gather together

In the hall, a dense crowd of people in suits were confronting two lawyers.

Miyagawa stood in front, his lips pursed tightly, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and his beautiful eyes showing anger. Miyagawa couldn't stand this group of people called the so-called "Information Supervision Bureau" and came in to make a fuss. Ever since they entered the law firm, they had been rummaging through the boxes aimlessly.

There were scattered materials everywhere on the ground.

Many files that had been bundled were left casually aside.

Even some documents scattered on the ground were trampled directly by people from the Asset Supervision Bureau.

"You guys have gone too far!" Miyagawa said angrily. This woman, who has always been as gentle as water, couldn't help but scold him. Some of the case materials that she and Beihara had finally sorted out in the morning were immediately messed up again.

"Please cooperate with us, we are investigating."

"You are not investigating, you are clearly causing trouble!"

When Miyagawa pushed back like this, the people in the Asset Supervision Bureau were a little stunned. After all, they used to investigate municipal enterprises or public officials. Those who were investigated in the past were naturally wary of the Asset Supervision Bureau. However, the two lawyers at the moment are not public officials or employees of state-owned enterprises, so naturally they have no mutual intentions.

At this moment, a middle-aged man slowly stepped out among the people from the Asset Supervision Bureau.

His appearance is unremarkable.

However, there was a hint of calculating cunning in his eyes.

The middle-aged man gestured to his subordinates with his eyes, then turned to Miyagawa and said with a smile, "Lawyer Miyagawa, right? Let me introduce myself, I am Urakawa, the senior investigator of the Asset Supervision Bureau. Today we have the Asset Supervision Bureau The bureau is here to search Jiang Teng Law Firm with a search warrant. Please cooperate.”

Miyagawa immediately replied: "Then what exactly are you searching for? Why are you rummaging through the boxes and rummaging through our case materials like this? What does the materials you are searching have to do with the case you are searching for?"

"We just act in accordance with the law." Urakawa still maintained his smile, "You are a lawyer and I am an investigator. Speaking of which, I have also had experience working as a prosecutor before. In fact, our work is the same, and we just act in accordance with the law. That’s it. The search warrant was written for us to search the law firm, so we’ll search it.”

"The search can only be limited to materials related to the case." Miyagawa replied somewhat forcefully, "If the search warrant is not clearly written, then you can go back and open another one. So many case materials here are related to us. The client’s secret. According to the Lawyers Law, these materials are subject to lawyer confidentiality, unless you have a specific search warrant, otherwise, according to the Lawyers Law, we have no reason to cooperate with you.”

Urakawa smiled again.

He ignored the rebuttal of the female lawyer in front of him.

In his career, he's seen too many people try to fight back.

Because of this, he always has enough backup.

"They should be arriving soon." Urakawa suddenly said to himself.

"They...are coming?" Miyagawa didn't understand what the investigator named Urakawa in front of him was saying for a moment. Who's coming? Who else is coming.

Suddenly, several figures appeared at the door of the law firm.

Among them, there are two figures that stand out in particular.

One is a slightly stocky, Mediterranean-bald man. The person who came was none other than Ikegami, the vice president of the Tokyo District Lawyers Association. Previously, starting from the General Hotel case, Ikegami had launched a series of lawyer professional disciplinary investigations against Kitahara. Although he was ultimately defeated by Kitahara, Ikegami will certainly not forget it and is ready to make a comeback at any time.

The other one was a rather handsome man with a mustache and sharp eyes. He is Miyagawa's father, Imanishi. Imanishi is also a director of the Tokyo District Bar Association. He learned that the Asset Supervision Bureau was going to investigate Eto Law Firm, and his daughter was also in this law firm. Of course, he had to come for today's investigation no matter what.

"Vice President Ikegami." Urakawa turned to look at the bald man, "Just now, Lawyer Miyagawa said that their materials are protected by the Lawyers Law and cannot be disclosed to our Asset Supervision Bureau. Then what happens next? Thank you for your help.”

Urakawa had already calculated the possible counterattack of the two lawyers. Therefore, he specifically asked the Tokyo District Bar Association to participate in today's investigation.

In Japan, there are two organizations that have the power to break attorney's privilege.

One is the court.

Another one is the Lawyers Association.

When the Lawyers Association conducts a lawyer practice discipline investigation, it may obtain the client's case file.

Chishang looked at the familiar figure behind Miyagawa. Yes, although we don’t meet often. But he will always remember this figure. Whether it was the class action selection meeting in the Kawamoto Expressway case or the subsequent internal investigation by the Bar Association. This Northern Plains made him suffer humiliation. He must seize every opportunity to pay back a hundredfold.

"Now that lawyers' rights to practice are being violated, why are your lawyers' associations still helping others?!" Miyagawa added a bit of beauty's anger when he saw Chishang doing this.

Yes, this world is becoming more and more beyond Miyagawa's imagination.

Since following Beiyuan.

She becomes more aware of the cruelty and madness of this world.

Absurd and confusing.

The Bar Association is originally a trade association established to safeguard lawyers' rights to practice law.

Now, however, the Bar Association is backing actions that infringe on lawyers’ rights to practice law.

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.

Lawyer membership fees in Tokyo are nearly billions of yen a year.

Just handed it over in vain.

"Lawyer Miyagawa, please don't get excited. There is a reason why our Lawyers Association is here. We are currently investigating Jiang Teng Law Firm's violations of lawyer's professional disciplines. Therefore, please cooperate with the Financial Supervision Bureau and submit the materials Give it to them." Chishang said with a bit of arrogance.

"Saeko! This matter has nothing to do with you, come here quickly!" Imanishi urged from the side. Imanishi knew very well that these investigations could not be related to Saeko. The target of the investigation today was very clear, that bastard lawyer named Kitahara Giichi! .

"Okay, can you cooperate with the Asset Supervision Bureau?" Urakawa still kept smiling, "Since the Tokyo District Lawyers Association is also present. I might as well say that in fact, the matters that our Asset Supervision Bureau wants to investigate also involve you. The disciplinary violations of law firms coincide with each other. People from the Lawyers Association are present today, and I think the so-called confidentiality privileges of lawyers will no longer exist.”

"I emphasize again. Lawyer Miyagawa, we are only acting in accordance with the law." Urakawa's voice sounded.

"Okay, please cooperate."

Urakawa waved his hand.

In an instant, people behind him rushed out again, rummaging around the law office recklessly.

In the hall, it is no longer one party versus one party, but two parties versus one party - the Asset Supervision Bureau and the Lawyers Association versus two weak lawyers...
