Firm Description

With over 300 Korean and foreign professionals, Shin & Kim is one of the leading law firms in Korea, and is expanding into Asia with offices in Beijing and Shanghai and a network of alliances with leading law firms in other countries. In 2011, Shin & Kim opened a Munich office to accommodate the growth of trade between Europe and Korea arising from the EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement.

Shin & Kim’s clients are Fortune 500 firms, Korean conglomerates, Korean and foreign financial institutions, small and medium-sized enterprises and government entities, who we routinely advise in landmark, multi-jurisdictional transactions and disputes.

Shin & Kim is dedicated to maintaining the highest level of client service in a full-range of practice areas including antitrust and competition law, M&A, finance, capital markets, real estate, trade, labour, bankruptcy, tax, litigation and international arbitration, among others.

Shin & Kim boasts the premier antitrust and competition team in Korea. Headed by the former General Counsel of the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC), the antitrust and competition team includes more than 40 lawyers, many of whom are widely esteemed for their decades of specialization and extensive experience in anti-trust and competition cases. Shin & Kim’s antitrust and competition team also boasts the largest number of lawyers who are former KFTC officials. Our clients thus reap the benefit of top-class service and expertise drawn from the firm’s depth and breadth of understanding of all facets of competition matters, combined with its leading position in corporate and other transactional practices.
