We provide forward-looking, integrated legal solutions that drive innovation
and unlock value for businesses operating at the forefront of rapidly evolving
technologies, including artificial intelligence, healthcare data and digital platforms.

Overview

The digital regulatory landscape is evolving at pace, shaped by developments such as amendments to Korea’s three major data protection laws and the enactment of the AI Basic law. Our team – comprising experienced practitioners who have served as advisors to the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Personal Information Protection Commission, alongside an attorney with PhD in engineering – combines deep technical insight with legal precision to deliver commercially focused, effective solutions. We offer market-leading expertise in navigating complex, cross-disciplinary issues at the intersection of law and technology – including AI ethics, high-risk AI regulatory frameworks, and the pseudonymisation and use of personal and healthcare data. Our approach is defined by clarity of analysis, depth of expertise and a focus on outcomes that matter to our clients.

Privacy & Data Compliance

We advise on the legality of data collection, use and transfer across the full data lifecycle under the Personal Information Protection Act and the Credit Information Use and Protection Act. Drawing on deep regulatory experience, we support clients in managing risk across data-driven businesses – including MyData licensing, the use of pseudonymised data, GDPR compliance, and civil and criminal exposure arising from large-scale data breaches. Our approach combines technical understanding with commercial insight to deliver clear, practical solutions aligned with our clients’ strategic objectives.

Artificial Intelligence & Emerging Technology Regulation

We advise on the application of domestic and international regulatory frameworks, including Korea’s AI Basic Law and the EU AI Act, with a focus on assessing algorithmic transparency and compliance with evolving technical standards. Combining regulatory insight with technical understanding, we support clients in the adoption of generative AI – including the development of robust frameworks for copyright and trade secret protection. We also advise on the use of regulatory sandboxes to facilitate the testing and deployment of emerging technologies, delivering practical, commercially aligned solutions in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

Medical Data & Digital Healthcare

Our team navigates the complexities of clinical data sharing and pseudonymization under applicable data utilization guidelines, enabling compliant and effective data use. We deliver market-leading, tailored advice across the digital healthcare landscape – from AI-enabled software as a medical device (SaMD) to bio and health platforms – designing robust, future-ready data protection frameworks that support innovation and growth.
