Contribution to Chambers “Doing Business In… 2026 South Korea”

Dentons Lee has contributed to the "Law and Practice" section of the South Korea chapter of Doing Business In… 2026, a Chambers Global Practice Guide published by Chambers and Partners.

The "Law and Practice" section was authored by Heejun Choi, Kyoung-Ho Kim, Sungsok Yang, Eunjee Kim, and Kwang-Chun Park of Dentons Lee.

The guide provides practical legal information for companies considering investment, establishment, operation, and business expansion in jurisdictions around the world. The South Korea chapter offers an overview of the principal legal and regulatory considerations relevant to domestic and international businesses operating in Korea.

The South Korea chapter is presented in two sections, "Law and Practice" and "Trends and Developments." The "Law and Practice" section provides a structured overview of Korea's legal framework, beginning with the legal system and judicial structure and addressing key matters relevant to doing business in Korea.

It explains the principal sources of Korean law, the hierarchy of legislation, the role of judicial decisions, and the structure of the Korean court system. It also provides practical guidance on legal and regulatory matters that companies should consider when establishing and operating a business in Korea.

As Korea's business and regulatory environment continues to evolve, companies entering or expanding in the Korean market need a clear understanding of both the applicable legal framework and its practical implications. The guide provides useful insights to support informed business decisions and effective risk management.
