- Serving as a strategic hub, growing alongside startups, big tech companies, and IT firms.
- With this relocation and expansion, the office has also significantly reinforced its team to offer an even broader range of legal services.
On the 2nd, Shin & Kim LCC (“Shin & Kim”), led by Managing Partner Jong Han Oh, announced that its Pangyo branch office has expanded and relocated to “Greits Pangyo,” a newly emerging landmark at the center of Pangyo.
The Pangyo office, which was the first to be established in 2018 by a major law firm in Korea, has achieved rapid sales growth each year alongside the expansion of startups, big tech companies, and IT firms. With this relocation and expansion, the office aims to deliver even more innovative legal services by working more closely with clients in an optimal business environment.
Along with the office expansion, the Pangyo office has significantly reinforced its team. In addition to existing experts such as Attorney Joong-il Cho (36th class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), who has led the Pangyo office since its opening, the office will be further strengthened by the addition of professionals across various fields, including ICT, labor, fair trade, and intellectual property, enabling the provision of tailored legal services to meet the diverse needs of clients.
Notably, the Pangyo office has strengthened its team with several key experts, including Yeon Ah Chung (32nd class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), who leads the New Business Platform Team and has provided legal services to a wide range of IT companies, including platforms, content providers, and AI companies, as part of Shin & Kim’s ICT Group at the headquarters. The office has also brought on Joon Yong Park (35th class), who brings extensive experience in startup investments and new business projects for large corporations, as well as Joonkyu Ahn (39th class), a highly regarded expert in broadcasting and telecommunications. In addition, the office has appointed Wonseok Lee (40th class), a leading lawyer in the game and entertainment sector, and Woo-Yong Song (40th class), a labor law specialist known for his exceptional expertise in HR advisory and labor disputes.
In addition, the office’s interior design and operational approach fully reflect the unique identity, culture, and working style of the Pangyo office. Departing from the traditional law firm layout where lawyers work in separate offices, the space features an open and spacious layout that encourages active exchange of ideas among lawyers. This design embraces the communication-driven culture of Pangyo companies, where creative solutions emerge through collaboration. At the same time, ample individual workspaces have also been secured to ensure an efficient and comfortable working environment for experts.
Attorney Joong-il Cho, who has been based in Pangyo for over six years since the office first opened, stated, “The Pangyo office has delivered creative and practical solutions to companies in the Pangyo area, earning the trust and support of our clients. This expansion and relocation reflect the growing demand for legal services in the region.” He continued, “With the addition of new experts across various fields tailored to our clients’ needs, we will provide optimal solutions in an even broader range of practice areas and serve as a true partner in driving our clients’ innovation.”
Meanwhile, the Pangyo office not only maintains close relationships with corporate clients, including promising startups across the country and major IT companies in the Bundang and Pangyo areas, but also actively provides legal advisory services on investment matters to financial investors such as PEFs and VCs investing in startups and IT companies. Through these comprehensive efforts, the office has demonstrated the most outstanding performance among major law firms operating in Pangyo.
