Kim & Chang

Kim & Chang is widely recognized as Korea's premier law firm. Established in 1973, the firm has set the standard for excellence for legal services in every major area of practice. The principles we were founded on and which we still adhere to today allow us to provide the highest-quality legal advice to our clients -- specialization in core practice areas, dedication to meeting the unique needs of each client, and internationalization of staff. Having advised in the majority of major transactions, projects, and cases in Korea, we have earned an unrivalled track record for developing innovative solutions to the increasingly complex legal challenges that our clients face, both in Korea and increasingly overseas. Our success derives from the outstanding quality of our professionals and staff. They include attorneys, patent attorneys, tax attorneys, economists, and sector specialists, who number more than 650 today. They are exceptionally talented individuals who have graduated from most prestigious universities in Korea and around the world. They have honed their skills on challenging assignments. They are international in practice and outlook; many Korean attorneys are also licensed to practice in the U.S., and our foreign attorneys have had work experience in the U.S., Japan, China, and the EU countries and speak French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Swedish and Spanish in addition to Korean and English. But perhaps most importantly, our professionals can be distinguished by their singular commitment to providing the highest quality services to the firm's clients as efficiently as possible. Our clients comprise an extraordinary roster of multinational corporations, domestic companies, international and domestic financial institutions, and private equity funds. They include most of the companies in the Fortune 500. But whether they are established industry leaders or start-ups, our clients can be assured of receiving the highest-quality advice that is uniquely tailored to their needs.
