We are best known for our global experience and exceptional expertise in international disputes not only in international arbitration but also in Korean litigation. The lawyers have extensive experience and knowledge in resolving multijurisdictional disputes with a very high level of linguistic and cultural fluency. Unique among Korean law firms, our group has the ability to advocate on multiple legal issues and understand nuances existing across diverse cultures, irrespective of the type of legal system involved, when negotiating, litigating, and arbitrating on behalf of clients based in Korean and overseas. While remaining comfortably “international”, we have also maintained our strong foundation in Korean domestic disputes as another cornerstone of our practice’s success. The integration of the domestic and international aspects of our practice gives us a more comprehensive perspective in resolving cross-border disputes that ultimately involve Korean law, ancillary and interim relief, enforcement, and Korean proceedings brought in tandem with international proceedings. This has enabled us to provide one-stop legal services throughout the entire process, from dispute prevention to negotiation, preparation for interim disposition procedures, as well as execution of the main procedures and enforcement.
