IPG Legal expands its role as a source of English-language analysis on Korean law through its publication and presence on Lexology, one of the world’s leading platforms for international legal commentary, research, and professional legal updates.
Lexology publishes legal analysis from more than 900 law firms and professional-service providers worldwide, covering more than 50 practice areas in 25 languages. Its searchable database contains more than one million articles and resources addressing legal developments across jurisdictions. IPG Legal now maintains a dedicated firm presence on Lexology, where its analysis of Korean law is available to lawyers, corporate counsel, executives, investors, and other professionals seeking practical information on the Korean legal system.
IPG Legal’s Korean Litigation Analysis Published by Lexology
Among IPG Legal’s recent contributions is a Q&A on conducting litigation in South Korea, covering the procedures and practical considerations foreign companies and counsel should understand when involved in Korean court proceedings. The Lexology publication covers the structure of the Korean court system, limitation issues, case management, evidence, procedure, and available remedies.
The firm has also contributed material addressing arbitration formalities in South Korea, another increasingly important field as Korean companies become more active participants in international transactions and cross-border disputes.
Making Korean Law Understandable to International Clients
Korean law can present particular challenges for foreign companies. Language is only one of them. The bigger challenge is often understanding how Korean statutes, regulations, courts, administrative agencies, and commercial practices work together in practice. A technically accurate translation of a statute does not necessarily tell a foreign executive what is likely to happen in practice.
For international clients, the important questions are often much more practical:
- What is the real risk?
- How is the Korean court likely to approach the dispute?
- How should evidence be preserved and presented?
- What leverage does each party actually have?
- When should a company litigate, negotiate, arbitrate, settle, or pursue a regulatory strategy?
A Longstanding Commitment to Publishing on Korean Law
IPG Legal’s Lexology publications are part of a much broader commitment to making Korean legal developments accessible to the international business and legal communities. The firm operates The Korean Law Blog, which contains an extensive body of English-language material dealing with Korean law and the Korean legal system. Its coverage extends well beyond basic summaries of Korean statutes. Recent topics have included Korean litigation, enforcement of international arbitration awards, shareholder and joint-venture disputes, litigation financing, employment law, competition law, corporate governance, director liability, intellectual property, workplace safety, real estate litigation, and cross-border disputes.
