Trusts
In Korea, trusts have traditionally been used by construction companies, real estate developers and financial institutions primarily in connection with real estate project financing.
However, the revision of the Trust Act in 2011 has opened a wide range of new possibilities to utilize trusts for succession and inheritance planning purposes. We are one of a few select firms within Korea with the expertise and qualifications to advise on complex trust law issues.

Our Trust Law expertise extends to representing clients in the court room. We have successfully represented clients on cases of first impression establishing jurisprudence in several landmark trust litigation cases in Korea.
