Founded in 1980, Bae, Kim & Lee LLC is among the largest law firms in South Korea with over 500 professionals. Headquartered in Seoul, BKL maintains overseas offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Dubai, Hong Kong, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Yangon. As the first Korean law firm to set up offices in China and the UAE, BKL has pioneered a region-wide approach to legal services.
With over 20 practice groups specializing in every significant area of law for business, BKL delivers expedient advice and resourceful advocacy across a broad cross-section of industries, guided by a clear understanding of the commercial needs of our clients.
As the first law firm in the nation that set up a department dealing with bankruptcy-related matters, BKL has since even before the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis taken the lead in almost every domestic bankruptcy-related case where either it successfully led the bankruptcy procedure on the side of the relevant company or faithfully represented client’s interests on the side of the relevant creditors and other stakeholders-indeed.
Currently comprised of about 30 professionals, including attorneys, certified public accountants and dedicated researchers, BKL Corporate Restructuring Practice Group has provided its domestic clients with widely-recognized legal services for dealing with all tasks related to the bankruptcy and corporate restructuring process. Furthermore, as a member of the World Law Group, BKL has been frequently collaborating with law firms across the world, becoming a go-to firm in Korea for this practice area.
