FOREIGN COUNSEL

How We Assist Foreign Counsel

01

Foreign counsel receives a clear explanation of the Korean procedural posture, the substantive issue to be decided, the evidence or argument required and the next procedural step.

02

Where technical or prior-art analysis is central to the matter, that analysis is integrated into the procedural strategy rather than treated as a separate exercise.
