Our Philosophy: Why We Exist
A lawyer’s work is more than solving problems. Instead, our mission is to remove business anxiety. We also tackle societal challenges. Consequently, this protects people’s peaceful lives.
A lawyer’s true value is tested in hands-on work. Therefore, we help society by solving client problems. This process builds essential trust. We believe these efforts create a better society.
Purpose: Meaningful Legal Services
Ailaw helps clients focus on their core business. We use “Meaningful Legal Services” to do this. Ultimately, we are committed to client profitability. This also enhances society’s productivity.
Our Core Principles
Specifically, our approach has three main points:
- Problem Solving. First, we solve corporate challenges. This lets teams focus on their core business.
- Strategic Vision. Second, we start from the user’s perspective. This helps us break free from vested interests.
- Shared Growth. Third, we help envision a path to growth together.
Mission: A Platform for Challengers
We build a legal platform for innovators. Society is in a profound transformation. Therefore, we use the power of law. We do this to enhance business sustainability.
Law as a Strategic Core
Our role is not just risk management. Instead, we place legal strategy at the core of management. This approach achieves business growth. It also creates social value. Furthermore, we offer PR support to communicate this value.
Vision: Three Pillars for the Future
Our work has three pillars. First, we support DeepTech. Second, we manage Geopolitical Risk. Third, we design HR for the AI Era. This integrated approach maximizes client profits.
Pillar 1: DeepTech Support
Generative AI is a commodity. Thus, a software advantage is hard to maintain. However, DeepTech is now in the spotlight. DeepTech takes a long time to commercialize. For this reason, leadership transitions are key.
Our Support Includes:
- Legal design for management transitions
- Support for new fundraising schemes
- Alignment with national tech strategies
- Governance for long-term investment
- Strategic management of IP
- Compensation design for leadership changes
Pillar 2: Geopolitical Risk Management
The free trade order has changed. Now, “national power” affects companies. This is in addition to market competition. In fact, technology leakage is a real risk. DeepTech is often seen as a dual-use technology.
Our Support Includes:
- Management systems for dual-use tech
- Zero-trust information management
- Handling security clearance needs
- Legal frameworks to prevent tech leaks
- Dynamic overseas expansion strategies
- Compliance with foreign investment rules
- Building supply chain resilience
Pillar 3: Organizational & HR Design for the AI Era
AI and an aging population are advancing. As a result, society must become more efficient. This has increased M&A activity. Thus, a review of HR systems is now urgent.
Our Support Includes:
- HR system integration during M&A
- Transitioning to job-based employment
- Performance-linked compensation
- Adapting to diverse work styles
- Efficiency support in a contracting economy
- Legal frameworks for data use
Values: The 8 Values We Promise
We aim to grow with our clients. Our services are based on the following eight values.
| ① Pioneer society by “anticipating” challenges | ② Focus on “possibilities,” in difficult times | ③ Aim “beyond expectations,” not just to meet them |
| ④ Focus on “being understood,” and engage with sincerity | ⑤ Start with “I,” but achieve results as “We” | ⑥ Enjoy technological change as an “opportunity for growth” |
| ⑦ Make the world a “fun place” | ⑧ “Create our own opportunities” and grow with the world |
Our Credo: Beliefs & Principles
A “Credo” is a set of guiding principles. It is from the Latin word for “I believe.”
Core Beliefs
- We are future-oriented. Therefore, we plan ten years ahead. We believe this is vital for survival.
- We are adventurers. To build the future, one must understand social trends. This requires trial and error. Indeed, today’s experts may be obsolete tomorrow.
- We nurture communities. The old “buy and discard” model is exploitative. Instead, we see clients and stakeholders as allies.
- Compensation comes from gratitude. High rewards are born from creating new value. They do not come from status or power.
Operating Principles
- The world is gamified. Consequently, one must understand and prepare for society’s rules. Otherwise, you risk being left behind.
- We are marketers who act on the future. We must move forward with conviction. We will not be misled by borrowed knowledge.
- Health comes first. It is the most important foundation. It allows us to meet the challenges of the future.
