This may be facilitated in a number of ways, namely incorporation, merger and acquisition, or by entering into a joint venture. Leveraging our extensive experience in assisting foreign companies and entrepreneurs, we facilitate clients' smooth entry into the Korean market.

Far beyond simple paperwork, we communicate closely with clients to understand the nature of their business, and provide strategic advice on the recommended entity type and governance structure tailored to each client — a level of service that simple registration agents cannot match. We draft all necessary corporate documents, including the articles of incorporation, in both English and Korean, and handle the entire incorporation process as well as any applicable post-incorporation filings from start to finish .
M&A and Joint Venture
We have substantial experience in representing companies in M&A and Joint Venture deals, and continue to advise foreign corporate clients making their entry into the Korean market in by of acquiring interests in or collaborating with existing Korean companies. Our expertise covers the entire process, including identifying suitable target or partner companies, deal structuring and negotiations, due dilligence, contract drafting, closing, and post-closing filings, ensuring a successful transition.
