Su Jin Jung Named to "ALB Asia Top Female Lawyers 2026"

Su Jin Jung, a leading partner in Lee & Ko’s Litigation Group, has been named to Asian Legal Business (ALB) Asia Top Female Lawyers 2026, in recognition of her standing as a leading female practitioner in Asia and her success in major disputes, including the SK Telecom personal data breach case.

Ms. Jung joined Lee & Ko in 2023 after 20 years on the bench. Drawing on that experience, she has developed exceptional expertise across a broad range of complex disputes, including fair trade litigation, criminal cases arising from serious industrial and occupational accidents, personal data protection litigation, and corporate control disputes. She has secured acquittals in a series of such criminal cases, including the SK Multi Utility and SAMPYO Group cases, two of Korea's most significant serious accident cases, and the industrial accident case involving Samsung Electronics' Giheung facility. The SK Multi Utility case resulted in the first acquittal under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act involving an affiliate of a major Korean conglomerate, while the SAMPYO Group case attracted nationwide attention as one of the first major cases arising from a serious accident occurring after the Act took effect. She also leads a number of fair trade administrative litigation matters concerning abuse of market dominance, unfair trade practices, and violations of the Fair Transactions in Subcontracting Act. Ms. Jung further contributed to achieving a balanced resolution in dispute mediation proceedings before the Consumer Dispute Settlement Commission in connection with the SK Telecom personal data breach and has obtained timely and favorable decisions in several preliminary injunction proceedings arising from corporate control disputes.
