International Practice

We combine deep experience and cross-border expertise to support clients expanding across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, delivering strategic legal solutions aligned with their business objectives and effectively navigating the complexities of overseas markets.

Overview

We deliver high-impact, commercially focused advice on complex legal issues arising from Korean companies’ outbound expansion and foreign investment into Korea. Combining deep local insight with a truly global perspective, we work seamlessly with leading international law firms and top-tier local firms across key jurisdictions. Through this integrated network, we provide coordinated, end-to-end solutions that anticipate risk, unlock opportunity and drive successful outcomes for our clients’ most strategic cross-border projects.

Cross-border Investments

We advise on cross-border M&A transactions—including equity acquisitions, asset acquisitions and joint ventures—structuring investments to optimize returns, manage risk and achieve tax-efficient outcomes across jurisdictions. We support clients throughout the investment lifecycle, from entry structuring and regulatory approvals to the establishment of local offices, branches and subsidiaries. Drawing on our international network, we help clients anticipate and mitigate risk, and provide strategic support in global disputes and proceedings when they arise.

Economic Sanctions & Export Controls

We advise financial institutions and corporates, both in Korea and globally, on managing risks arising from international trade. Our work includes the design and implementation of economic sanctions and export controls compliance frameworks, advising on investigations by overseas regulators and enforcement authorities, and conducting internal investigations and due diligence. In a landscape of heightened protectionism and increasing regulatory scrutiny, we provide strategic advice on export controls, national core technology regimes and foreign investment screening. We support clients in engagements with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources and related authorities, and deliver coordinated, strategic support in enforcement actions and cross-border proceedings.
