Korea and Japan have become two of the most developed economies in the world, and their geographical proximity has given rise to bustling business interactions between them for decades, if not centuries. Recognizing the close economic relationship between these two countries, Lee & Ko has put a special emphasis on building its Japan Practice Group for years. Now, the Group stands out as one of the strongest in its field. The members of the Group are highly experienced and skilled in their respective professional fields, such as corporate, cross-border M&As, foreign direct investment, finance, antitrust, labor, tax, intellectual property, international arbitration, environment, and international trade, while possessing proficient command of Japanese and English. In combination, these two strengths in combination enable the Group to communicate effectively with Japanese clients and provide more satisfactory work to clients.

Moreover, many of our attorneys in the Group have experience working at leading law firms in Japan, and have built strong networks with distinguished law firms in Japan by accepting lawyers dispatched from them on secondment.

Whenever necessary, the Group may co-work with other practice groups, such as corporate, finance, international arbitration, customs, tax, litigation, criminal, insolvency and maritime, if necessary.

Built upon such outstanding human resources and well-built network, Lee & Ko provides uncompromised one-stop legal services to our Japanese clients doing business in Korea and our Korean clients doing business in Japan.
