Business Litigation & Transactions
We are experienced attorneys who handle business disputes at every phase of the conflict. In today's complex business environment, companies often face unexpected legal challenges to their business. With meticulous and detailed analysis together with well-devised plans and strategies, we aggressively and effectively protect our client's interest.

Our legal acumen also provides our client with unique approaches to business negotiations and transactions. We promote our client's interest by attempting to resolve potential issues in advance through appropriate strategic applications. Our cost-conscious strategies will enable our client to take a strong position in possible disputes with their business counterparts.

We are committed to achieving our client's vision and goals for their business.

Complex Commercial Litigation: We handle complex commercial litigation matters where disputes arise in connection with our clients' business activities. We represent companies in various industries.
Business Negotiations and Transactions: We negotiate and draft various business agreements such as license agreements and strategic business agreements. We also advise companies in consummating their business transactions and assist companies to comply with government regulations and laws.
Purchase and Sale of Business: We provide legal advice with regard to clients' purchases or sales of business. We also identify potential legal challenges arising from such purchases or sales of business and advise clients concerning possible preventive measures.

We advise clients in various aspects of legal and business opportunities in connection with their formation of new business entities. We also advise clients in terms of their entities' compliance with applicable government regulations or laws.

International Business Litigation and Transactions
: We represent foreign companies, specifically headquartered in East Asia, including but not limited to Korea, Japan, and China, before state or federal courts in connection with foreign companies' business disputes with their U.S. counterparts. Our proven experience in international business litigation provides foreign companies with effective strategies for successful results. Further, our attorneys speak Korean, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese and have extensive experience in resolution of business disputes between the individuals and companies located in the U.S. and other East-Asian countries.; We also assist foreign companies with the sale and distribution of their products in the U.S., the protection and licensing of their intellectual property, the formation of a partnership or joint venture with U.S. companies, and the establishment of their U.S. subsidiaries or affiliates.

General Counsel Service
: We design our general counsel service for companies that desire an alternative to the traditional in-house legal department. Those companies can benefit from our legal assistance without creating a legal department or hiring in-house counsel.

Korea Practice
: As counsel for both Korean companies and U.S. companies, we have acted as a corporate bridge between those companies to reduce the difference in their corporate culture and business environments. Based upon our attorneys' personal background and work experience with Korean companies, we understand challenges Korean companies usually face when legal disputes arise from their businesses in the U.S. as well as when Korean companies explore business opportunities in the U.S. In 2008, the Small & Medium Business Corporation, a non-profit organization funded by the Korean government, selected our firm as an approved legal advisor to Korean companies that are seeking to start their businesses in the U.S. Based upon this experience, our firm also provides assistance to U.S. companies in connection with their initial communications, negotiations, and resolution of disputes with Korean companies or Korean government entities.

Trademark and Copyright Law
: We represent companies in protection and promotion of their rights in intellectual property. We also represent corporate entities or individuals in registering their trademark and copyright, and advise owners of trademark and copyright to take appropriate preventative measures against any potential infringement activities.

Appellate Law
: We believe that the appeals process or appellate procedure is very different from other aspects of litigation. Not only is there no discovery, the appellate record is limited to what was already presented to the lower court. Appellate procedure often proceeds at a much faster pace than general litigation. In general, an appeal is presented to a multi-judge panel and is decided almost entirely on the written briefs and any oral argument if granted. Given the circumstances of the appellate process, we work with the client in developing and simplifying the most complex facts and circumstances to create compelling arguments before the appellate panel that maximizes the client's chances for success.

Pro Bono Service
: We support the community by providing pro bono legal services to individuals who need legal representation but unfortunately cannot afford legal fees. Not only do we try to provide legal services on a pro bono basis to individuals, but we also plan to provide pro bono assistance to certain organizations or groups desiring to form nonprofit corporations. While we review pro bono service requests on a case-by-case basis, we make every attempt to provide as much assistance as possible to those individuals and organizations in need.

We are business litigators who have represented companies at all stages of development, from small- and mid-sized companies to large international companies. With our commercial litigation background, we also have provided unique consultation on our clients' transactional matters.

Pricing

We strive to flexibly price our services to provide the value our clients desire to receive. In addition to traditional hourly billing arrangements, we offer competitive prices on our services by valuing our legal services in conjunction with our clients' expectations that are communicated to us. Our available fee arrangements include, but are not limited to:

Fixed fee or flat fee arrangements;

Reduced hourly fee arrangements with a success fee component;

Caps on fees; and

Volume discounts.

In addition, we try to minimize our internal costs so that we can offer our services to clients without charging certain expenses such as phone charges and facsimile charges.

Our flexible pricing combined with client's savings on expenses increases the certainty on the value and price our clients desire to receive for legal services.
