PRACTICE AREAS
Areas of focus
We do not take every case. We focus only where we can go deep.
Why these three areas
Foreign companies entering Korea face the same sequence again and again: set up the entity correctly, keep the operation compliant, and resolve disputes when they arise. These three areas cover that life cycle end to end, on Korean law and in clear English.

Frequently asked questions
I'm not sure which area my matter falls under.
We sort that out in the first consultation. Many matters start as a contract question and grow into litigation, and a single matter often mixes several issues.
Can you handle matters outside these three areas?
For general civil, family, or administrative matters we refer you to trusted colleagues. We think it is more honest not to take work we cannot handle well.
We already have Korean counsel — can we still consult you?
Yes. A second-opinion review can run independently of your existing engagement.
Are evening or weekend consultations possible?
Urgent matters (an imminent filing deadline, a regulatory action) are answered outside hours. General matters are answered within business hours.
