법무법인 창경

What 법무법인 창경 does

Law Firm Changgyeong (법무법인 창경) is a Seoul-based Korean law firm headquartered in the Apec Tower near Seolleung Station in Gangnam, with a second office in the nearby Samsung-dong district. The firm provides full-service legal advisory and litigation across eight core practice areas: M&A and corporate finance, criminal defense, intellectual property and privacy/data security, construction and real estate, inheritance and family law, civil and administrative dispute resolution, labor and employment, and healthcare and medical law. Its positioning is built around attorneys recruited from Korea's largest law firms — including Yulchon (율촌) and Pacific/Taeupyeong-yang (태평양) — and a NY-bar-admitted U.S. attorney, marketed as a "대형로펌 (large law firm) 출신" boutique offering more tailored service. Client work spans marquee enterprises (Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, SM Entertainment, JYP, Netmarble, LG CNS, CJ E&M, EA Korea, NHN Entertainment, Shinhan Bank) and a growing roster of public institutions (서울대학교병원, 연세 세브란스병원, 질병관리청, 서울특별시 공공보건의료재단, 서울특별시교육청). Notable mandates include the CJ E&M Produce 101 / Idol School vote-manipulation criminal defense and a 24 billion won patent infringement damages award for Golfzon.

The firm operates on a traditional professional services model: quote-based fees tied to matter complexity, practice area, and attorney seniority, with no publicly disclosed pricing or revenue. Distribution is direct client engagement, primarily domestic (Seoul/Korea), with acquisition driven by professional networks, attorney referrals from former large-firm affiliations, and demonstrated case results rather than digital marketing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with the engagement-based nature of legal advisory work.

• Yulchon LLC (법무법인 유철): Korea's leading full-service law firm and the former employer of multiple Changgyeong partners. Yulchon is the most direct upstream-comparable peer given the firm's alumni pipeline and similar full-service practice mix across M&A, IP, and litigation.
