Chung & Partners is a law office based in Seoul, South Korea (Disclaimer). We are fully specialized in serving foreign clients.
As the world entered the 21st Century, socioeconomic globalization began to firmly take hold. Accordingly, an increasing number of foreign companies and individuals became intricately involved with Korean entities and parties, and vice versa. Consequently, the demand for knowledge regarding Korean law and the underlying legal issues surfaced unequivocally. Hence, in 2008, we started ASK KOREA LAW, and such is the genesis of our story.
You are currently reading the first-ever online English legal resource for Korean laws published by a Korean licensed attorney. Our website aims to help foreigners with any Korean legal issue.
Our evolvement is exceptionally unique in that, presently, 100% of our cases are foreign in the sense that every case has an international aspect in terms of the involved parties and/or the subject matters.
We are true counselors to our foreign clients, responding quickly to their needs and helping them find creative solutions. Dedication to our foreign clients and enabling them to succeed in, and while even outside, Korea is what defines us.
