Our Philosophy
Intellect and Passion
Our firm handles a wide range of legal matters from private disputes to corporate matters including corporate and labour law, contract negotiations for M&A, intellectual property and business litigation and mediation.
To cope effectively with our evolving and advancing society, lawyers need intellectual curiosity, intellectual drive and deep legal knowledge. However, we should not forget law is a human matter. The best solutions vary with each individual. We do not believe that templates and manuals offer the best legal solutions. We believe that lawyers need not only knowledge and intellect, but passion. Human emotion and passion cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence. We address each individual case promptly with intellect and passion.
Justice and Harmony
The mission of lawyers is to protect the rights of individuals against the dominant majority to achieve social justice. We should not forget Japanese history, which shows how irresponsible choices by the masses can lead to dictatorship. However, we also believe that lawyers should avoid self-righteous claims and avoid instigating disputes. We believe that law creates harmony in human society. Thus, we strive to pursue justice for the purpose of social harmony.
Law and Equity
Lawyers must provide legal expertise based on legal knowledge. However, we believe that lawyers should also be aware of whether existing laws and regulations can offer the best solutions to current social problems. The notion of equity in English and international law can address the incompleteness of law. As lawyers, we will keep in mind not only legal knowledge but a sense of equity.
