What Are Our Digital Services — AEGIS Approach and Perspective

AEGIS International Administrative Firm has launched a new practice line: Digital Services. In addition to our immigration practice, we now support law firms and small/mid-sized businesses in adopting AI, driving DX, and improving operations, from both the implementation and business-understanding sides.

This is the introductory article in our Digital Services series. Concrete implementation examples and practical guidance will be published in follow-up articles.

Background — A Professional Duty in the Administrative Scrivener Act

Effective January 1, 2026, the amended Administrative Scrivener Act introduced a new provision. For the first time among Japan’s professional service laws, a duty concerning “adaptation to a digital society” was established as a best-effort obligation.

Administrative scriveners shall, in performing their duties, endeavor to improve public convenience and advance the practice through the use of information and communication technology and other measures, taking into account the progress of digital society.

— Administrative Scrivener Act, Article 1-2, paragraph 2

This is more than a nominal push for digitization. It formally establishes information technology adoption as a professional duty.

AEGIS Digital Services is our concrete institutionalization of this duty. For law firms and small/mid-sized businesses facing challenges such as “we want to digitize but do not know where to start” or “we want to adopt AI but do not know how to integrate it into our operations,” we provide hands-on support that combines actual implementation and business understanding.

What Digital Services Covers

Our support covers the following areas.

AI Adoption and Integration Support

We help you incorporate generative AI (LLMs, image generation, video generation, etc.) into your day-to-day operations from a practical standpoint. From prompt design and process integration to accuracy verification and risk management, we go beyond mere tool introduction and support adoption “in a form that fits your operations.”

Operational Improvement (Digitization, Automation, Efficiency)

We identify bottlenecks in the daily operations of law firms and small/mid-sized businesses (document preparation, progress management, client communication) and address them through digital tools and automation. From reviewing existing operations to implementation and stable rollout, we support the full lifecycle.

New Service and Business Launch Support

We support new business initiatives from the planning stage through implementation and operation. Concepts for new services centered on IT or AI are shaped into forms that fit your actual practice.

External Communication and Information Design Improvement (SEO / AIO / GEO, etc.)

We improve the design of external communication channels such as websites, blogs, and social media from the perspectives of search engine optimization (SEO), AI optimization (AIO), and generative engine optimization (GEO). Optimization for citation by AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.) is a domain rapidly rising in importance.

What Makes AEGIS Different

Various approaches to digital services exist. At AEGIS, we emphasize the following three points.

1. Combining Business Understanding with Implementation Capability

Many DX consulting offerings lean heavily to one side: either “advisors with business understanding” or “engineers who can implement.” AEGIS holds both: the business grounding of a certified administrative scrivener and hands-on implementation. This combination enables support that does not remain purely theoretical.

2. “AI for Volume and Speed, Humans for Judgment and Accountability”

As a core principle for AI adoption, AEGIS adopts the following stance:

AI handles: information gathering, drafting, translation, background research, and anything where volume and speed matter
Humans handle: strategic judgment, risk assessment, final accountability, and anything requiring judgment and responsibility

Making this line explicit maximizes the benefits of AI while preserving the trust and accountability expected of a certified professional.

3. We Only Offer What We Practice

At AEGIS, we offer as service menus only those things we have implemented and verified ourselves. For example, this website itself is built and operated under an AI-integrated development and operations regime. The backend systems that handle inquiry intake, automated confirmation emails, content publication, and regulatory monitoring are all built and run in-house.

Rather than “theoretical frameworks,” we bring you “implementations we have used and validated.”

Daegis — Our In-House Product in Development

AEGIS is developing an internal application called Daegis for use in and adjacent to legal practices.

“Daegis” is a coined term combining Digital × AEGIS. It aims to be a product with features designed from a practitioner’s perspective for the day-to-day operations of an administrative scrivener’s office.

Details of Daegis will be published as development progresses. That an administrative scrivener builds a product in-house, rather than merely talking about “AI adoption support,” reflects our commitment to implementation and to Digital Services as a serious practice.

What Comes Next

Our Digital Services engagements are tailored to each case, from one-off consultations to ongoing collaboration.

In this series, we plan to publish articles such as:

Getting Started with AI in a Law Firm
Practical Examples and Implementation Notes for Operational Improvement
Turning the Information Technology Adoption Duty into Practice
The Vision behind Daegis, and Lessons from Development
