Daeryun Law Firm moves to a new home in the heart of Pangyo... Expansion and relocation of the Gyeonggi General Headquarters Seongnam Branch Office

‘Intimate connection’ with customers of IT and big tech companies
“We will move forward as a ‘global mega law firm’ by transplanting corporate legal advice to overseas markets.”

Daeryun Law Firm, which entered the top 10 law firms in the shortest period of time, announced that it is expanding and relocating its Seongnam branch office to Pangyo, the ‘Silicon Valley of Korea’, thereby establishing a practical foundation for becoming a ‘global mega law firm’ and becoming closer to customers of IT and big tech companies.

Daeryun Law Firm relocated and opened the Seongnam Branch Office of its Gyeonggi General Headquarters in Seongnam Alpha Dome Tower.

This opening is a strategic measure by Daeryun Law Firm to advance the establishment of a core legal hub in the Gyeonggi area and establish a legal response system specialized for the needs of the Pangyo region, the center of the technology industry.

Alpha Dome Tower was built in 2007 as part of the Alpha Dome City development project in which LH (Korea Land and Housing Corporation) and others participated, and is adjacent to Pangyo Station on the Shinbundang Line, boasting excellent accessibility from other areas. Leading high-tech industrial companies such as Kakao, Naver, and Snow in IT, game, and bio industries are located here.

These companies, which are different from traditional industries, also have new and diverse demands for legal advice. Recently, the need for new industry-specific legal fields such as data protection, AI ethics, corporate mergers and acquisitions, startup restructuring, and intellectual property disputes has been explosively increasing. It is known that leading large law firms are located here.

Through this relocation to Pangyo, Daeryun Law Firm plans to focus more on the corporate legal field, including ▲ corporate legal affairs, ▲ labor and human resources, ▲ intellectual property rights, ▲ startup establishment and investment contracts, and ▲ legal DD (due diligence) for tech companies.

In addition, Daeryun Law Firm's Seongnam branch office has deployed a large number of personnel in criminal, civil, tax, and administrative fields to increase accessibility to legal counseling for nearby office workers.

Kim Kook-il, CEO of Daeryun Law Firm, said, “Pangyo is a technology cluster where Korea's leading IT companies are concentrated, and it has meaning beyond the simple relocation of a branch office. As the technology industry and legal services must be elaborately intertwined, we will provide one-stop comprehensive legal services to corporate customers based on Daeryun's abundant practical experience and efficient work system.”

CEO Kim Kook-il, a lawyer, added, “We will expand our contacts with domestic and foreign innovative companies located in the Pangyo and Gyeonggi regions and establish ourselves as a law firm that grows together by embracing their technological ecosystem in a diverse way.”

Meanwhile, Daeryun Law Firm plans to expand its proven growth model in Korea on the global stage by expanding into major overseas cities such as London and Hong Kong, starting with the opening of its New York office in the United States as early as June.
