Logo
In December 2020, we launched a new logo. This new logo is based on the theme,
“Daylight Star—A guiding star visible during the daytime.”
From ancient times, stars guide people as they travel and sail around the world. Although most people think of stars in the night sky, those stars are still there in the daytime sky. And even though they are hidden by sunlight during the day, stars are watching over us at all times.
Like a star in the sky, we at the Firm will always be there with client-centric professional services as a partner who seeks optimal solutions for your problems and as a guiding advisor.
