About

Provided by SEUM Law

SEUM, Korea’s premier tech boutique law firm, is founded by attorneys from Korea’s top firms. SEUM’s M&A Team is best known for handling work for the sell-side, representing founders of startups. As part of our commitment to the development of the startup ecosystem in Korea, we continue to handle many mid and large-sized M&A deals, and we believe to increase in our aggregate deal volume compared to the same period last year indicates that many clients are increasingly looking to SEUM for this type of work. SEUM also represents prominent Korean and global corporates such as IT giant Naver Corporation, Kakao and the most active global venture capital firm 500Startups.

 

SEUM’s forward-thinking partners actively participate in all matter to maximize efficiency and implement a working style that focuses on solutions and results, not form. Many of SEUM’s M&A clients take innovative approaches to tackle the difficult challenges that face them. SEUM is taking the same approach with legal services in the Korean market. As such, SEUM’s M&A Team works closely with general corporate as well as venture capital teams providing comprehensive guidelines on complex issues.
