Introducing Shigyo.com: A No-Commission Legal Professional Matching Service

Introduction to Shigyo.com

In an era where finding qualified professional help can be overwhelming, Shigyo.com is stepping up to fill this gap. Launched by Yoshitaba Real Estate Co., Ltd., located in Bunkyo, Tokyo, Shigyo.com is a unique legal professional matching website that operates without any introduction fees, referral fees, or success commissions. As of September 1, 2026, the platform has added social insurance labor consultants to its roster, allowing individuals to access expert advice across a multitude of legal areas.

A Comprehensive Portfolio of Legal Experts

Shigyo.com features a variety of legal professionals, including lawyers, tax consultants, judicial scriveners, administrative scriveners, and now, social insurance labor consultants. A total of 21 experts are listed on the platform with expertise across eight different national qualifications, including real estate appraisers and small business consultants.

This site was developed to empower users in their search for legal services. Users have the autonomy to choose from 27 different fields of expertise, covering issues from inheritance, labor, taxation, to real estate and business establishment advice. By eliminating financial incentives tied to referrals, Shigyo.com ensures that every listed professional competes fairly, prioritizing clients' needs and preferences.

The Concept of No Fees

Unlike traditional matching sites where the order of professionals may reflect commissions paid, Shigyo.com operates on a completely transparent model. By refusing to accept any fees, the platform is designed to keep the selection process equitable. Professionals are listed without priority given to any based on payment, ensuring that clients can freely choose a legal expert who fits their needs best.

Describing its approach, Shigyo.com likens itself to a local shopping street rather than a department store where a single entity manages all services. Each professional operates independently under their own brand, allowing clients to browse and select experts based on specific criteria.

Four Core Principles of Shigyo.com

1. No Fees: Shigyo.com does not partake in any transaction fees with clients, legal experts, or allied parties.
2. No Preferential Treatment: The platform does not manage案件配分 (case distributions) or provide specific recommendations for professionals.
3. Direct Contracts: Clients contract directly with the listed professionals. Fees for consultations are set by the professionals themselves and paid directly by clients.
4. Qualified Listings: Only those holding national qualifications are listed, ensuring that every professional meets stringent standards.

Adjustments Following the Revised Administrative Scrivener Act

On January 1, 2026, reforms to the Administrative Scrivener Act come into effect, tightening regulations on who can perform administrative duties. Shigyo.com remains firmly neutral in contracting, making it clear that all agreements are established directly between the client and the qualified professionals.

Expanding the Portfolio

With recent additions, the legal professionals listed now include 21 experts: 16 administrative scriveners, 5 real estate transaction specialists, 2 lawyers, 2 small business consultants, and 2 social insurance labor consultants—these enrolled as of September 1, 2026. Their varied expertise covers many critical areas. However, Shigyo.com is on the lookout for professionals in fields such as land and house investigation and public accounting to join the platform.

The site covers a variety of fields, from inheritance and business succession to visa issues, health insurance, and legal disputes, offering multiple consultation formats including online, phone, or in-person meetings.

Continuous Learning and Support

Shigyo.com is committed to being more than just a contact point for legal help. It aims to offer resources that aid clients before they even step through the door. This includes articles supervised by professionals, fact checks on misinformation circulating in the legal field, and educational videos that cover nuanced topics.

Editorial oversight is provided by Joji Uramatsu, the CEO of Yoshitaba Real Estate and a seasoned journalist, ensuring high-quality information dissemination. By combining rigorous fact-checking with expert knowledge, the platform empowers clients with the tools they need to navigate their challenges effectively.

Conclusion

As Joji Uramatsu states, “The order of information matters significantly to readers and clients alike. Shigyo.com’s intentional exclusion of financial incentives fosters an equitable environment for choosing the right legal professional.” With its dedicated approach to providing unbiased service, Shigyo.com is paving the way for more transparent and client-centered legal consultations.

For anyone who has struggled to find the right legal support, Shigyo.com offers a gateway to competent professionals ready to assist without the burden of additional fees.
