2023 Tampa Regional Compliance & Ethics ConferenceOur Korea practice team, led by June Lee, represents Korea-based businesses seeking to operate in the United States. The team, consisting of fluent Korean-speaking lawyers with more than 60 years of combined experience working with or at Korean companies, collaborates with clients to achieve their business goals and growth objectives.
We have long-established relationships with the top law firms in Korea. We work with them to help U.S. businesses embark on new enterprises in Korea. The firms also refer Korean businesses to us to help them establish operations in the United States.
Through years of experience working for Korean and multinational companies, our lawyers are practiced hands with Korean business culture and customs. They understand the culture’s communication and negotiation styles, relationship-building focus, and the decision-making process. Their knowledge and experience help meet clients’ legal needs smoothly and efficiently.
The U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) went into effect in 2012. The treaty rolled back 95% of each nation's tariffs on goods within five years, increased intellectual property rights, and established new protections for multinational financial services and other firms. Most of our Korea-based clients import parts or materials from their Korean parent companies. Last spring, the Trump administration announced its plan to re-negotiate or terminate the deal. On September 25, 2018, U.S. and South Korea signed the revised KORUS which took effect as of January 2019. The revision will have serious consequences for both U.S. and South Korean companies benefiting from the treaty’s provisions. Our lawyers advise our clients on relevant developments and how the amended FTA may affect their operations.
