In my country, lawyers take care of almost everything from accounting to general affairs. But I heard that Japanese experts have their respective areas of expertise. Tell me about that in detail.

In Japan, different experts handle different practice areas as follows. Please note that if a person without an appropriate national qualification handles any of the following affairs as business, it can be illegal and subject to a penalty.

Qualification Affairs
Attorney Trial, consultation on legal affairs related to business, etc.
Tax accountant Accounting and booking, notifications to tax office, consultation on tax affairs, etc.
