ABOUT US
Our Mission and Vision


Why We Started
OLD NEW THINGS is a next-gen law firm specializing in new business development and growth strategy support, aiming to be the go-to partner for changemakers who work to transform society.
While we build on the essential values and ethics passed down by generations of legal professionals, we do not confine ourselves to existing frameworks or fixed ideas. We learn, reflect, worry, and act alongside our clients, providing creative and strategic consulting expertise.
Guided by clear guiding principles, we unite talented professionals who share our values to help clients navigate and shape a new era of opportunity.
Our Name and Symbol
OLD NEW THINGS reflects our dual philosophy: honoring the timeless fundamentals of professional excellence while evolving new perspectives to meet contemporary challenges.
Our brandmark features two overlapping rings—one with an organic, free-flowing form and the other perfectly circular—creating new value at their intersection. By not delineating which represents 'OLD' and which represents 'NEW,' the significance of each can evolve across different timeframes and situations.
Our Values
Our Values are not mere words, but guidelines that reflect our purpose and way of life.
These seven Values form the foundation for our support of entrepreneurs and businesses.
1. We Stand By Our Principles
We make decisions with integrity guided by firm beliefs and principles. Our unwavering values are the foundation upon which we get results and build long-term trust.
2. With the Big Picture in Mind
We maintain a broad perspective, aligning our decisions with long-term strategies to ensure sustainable growth and enduring success.
3. Every Day is a New Day
We embrace change as opportunity. Our 'Day 1' mindset drives us to continuously learn, think boldly, and act decisively, while valuing fresh perspectives and constructive challenges.
4. Ownership
We own our responsibilities completely and commit fully to outcomes. This ownership builds trust, fosters empathy, and creates momentum that strengthens our organization and drives results.
5. Speed with Purpose
In business, timing and pace determine competitive advantage. We balance swift decision-making with strategic execution to accelerate value creation for our clients.
6. Elephant-Free Room
We value transparent discussions based on rational grounds. We eliminate "elephants in the room" such as irrational processes, organizational politics, and unspoken assumptions to ensure essential and ideal decision-making.
7.Making a Difference
We open up business possibilities through our legal services. We are committed to facing challenges, realizing transformation, and creating a better future alongside our clients.
