H. Okada International Law Offices joins IR as the exclusive Mergers & Acquisitions Member in Japan

IR Global, the world’s largest exclusive network of advisory firms is delighted to introduce Haruo Okada of H. Okada International Law Offices. Haruo has joined IR as our exclusive Mergers & Acquisitions member in Japan.

 

“Our aspiration to a fusion of science and humanities reflects my own shift from science to humanities before I established this law firm.

It is generally thought that there is always a right answer to questions of natural science but not to questions of law. It is certainly true that there is not always a correct answer to questions of abstract legal theory. Mysteriously however, where more concrete legal problems are concerned, the combination of facts, background, evidence, client’s request, the circumstances of the opposing party and the judge, ethics, and all related information, when subject to thorough analysis and debate, will in most cases lead to “The Answer”: a single unique solution that is one hundred percent correct.

In most cases, “The Answer” is reached through detailed discussion by a team of lawyers who, without any preconceptions as to the outcome, engage in a process of brainstorming ideas so as to settle on a strategy and decide on the approach to all crucial issues. The legal team must then refine the approach so as to analyse from the standpoints of the judge, the opposing party, who must be persuaded at each stage. Through this comprehensive process a strategy reveals itself that is the best, bespoke strategy in the individual case.

The point at which “The Answer” is reached is exhilarating, akin to being suddenly rewarded with a 360-degree panoramic view at the end of an arduous mountain ascent through dense forest. The lawyers in my firm experience this thrill of finding “The Answer” as part of their daily practice. It is the source of our passion for the job, it heightens our motivation to grapple with each new case and is ultimately the energy that drives our ability to consistently provide the highest quality legal services.

Our firm has honoured this philosophy since its establishment over 30 years ago.”

If you have a requirement in this area, please get in touch with Haruo directly or with the IR Global head office for an introduction.
