Adire Legal Professional Corporation (弁護士法人アディーレ法律事務所, Bengoshi Hōjin Adīre Hōritsu Jimusho) is a Japanese law firm.
As of 2016 it was the sixth-largest law firm in Japan by number of lawyers, with 160 attorneys on staff.[1] It also has the most offices of any Japanese law firm in history; in July 2013, it opened its 49th and 50th offices in Nagasaki and Sasebo.[2] The firm eventually plans to have offices in each of the 235 courthouse locations in Japan.[3] It is headquartered in the Sunshine 60 building in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
The firm's focus is on personal and corporate bankruptcy and debt restructuring. As of 2009 the firm was handling over 2,000 new debt restructuring cases each month.[4] In recent years, the firm has diversified its practice into automobile accidents, divorces and other areas due to a gradual decline in debt restructuring work.[3]
