Focus Service: Legal Department Hack
― “Profit-Progressive” Governance Reform through AI × CRM × ISMS × BigQuery × Daily Operations ―
“Legal Department Hack” is an execution-oriented governance reform service powered by AI and practical experts. We redesign legal, governance, information security, systems, and data infrastructure across the board, guiding Japanese companies towards a “data-driven decision-making” job-based management structure.
We integrate CRM (HubSpot/Salesforce, etc.), Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, and BigQuery, with AI handling automation and experts performing tasks as internal team members. We build systems that become lasting company assets without disrupting daily operations.
Why Start with the “Legal Department”?
As Japan transitions from “membership-based employment” to “job-based employment,” the department that best understands the concepts of a contractual society and governance structures is the Legal Department. The Legal Department is the core of governance, responsible for designing contracts, risks, and controls, and is the only department that understands rule-based Western culture. Redesigning from this department is the shortest path to global standards.
Legal Department Hack Approach
- Business Support through AI Introduction: AI automatically assists with contract review, approval requests, approvals, and risk detection.
- Company-wide Collaboration via CRM + Cloud Integration: Centralized management of legal, commercial flow, and audit data using HubSpot/Salesforce.
- Automated ISMS/ISO27001 Operation: AI updates access management, training records, and audit trails in real-time.
- Building a Data-Driven Management Foundation with BigQuery: Supporting the shift from “intuition-based management” to “data-driven management.”
- Practical Operational Support by Experienced Experts: Experts perform tasks like internal members, building systems that remain as company assets.
- “Progress While Reducing” Economic Structure: Eliminating unnecessary SaaS and redundant tasks to achieve reforms that always progress profitably.

Our Philosophy
“No matter how excellent external experts are, it is the people inside the company who make it move.”
We don’t just hand over knowledge and tools; we create systems that enable decision-making within the organization. During the transition, we act on your behalf. Once rule-setting and systematization are complete, we build a framework that allows you to operate independently. AI is a means to accelerate that system, not the goal.
The day we are no longer needed is the day our support has succeeded.
