Aju Business Daily reported on Lee & Ko’s ‘Middle East Task Force (TF)’ along with comments from attorney Hyuk Jung Kim. Aju Business Daily stated, “As the conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran continues to escalate, the activities of Korean companies in the Middle East are becoming increasingly urgent.” The report mentioned, “To respond promptly to this situation, Lee & Ko has established the ‘Middle East Task Force (TF),’ composed of experts in defense, corporate advisory, overseas construction, project financing, insurance, maritime law, and other areas. Through close interdepartmental collaboration, the TF provides customized solutions tailored to clients’ needs.” The report also noted, “The most noticeable change following this situation has been in the defense industry.” Regarding this, attorney Hyuk Jung Kim emphasized, “There will be tangible security threats regardless of whether the war ends, and demand from countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will continue to rise. As domestic companies have secured supply volumes for the next 10 to 15 years, long-term legal support is essential.”
