Barun Law is one of very few law firms in Korea that has a dedicated existing core of attorneys and para-professionals experienced in taking on a specific long-term issue requiring actual change in law or regulatory policy on behalf of international clients or industry groups in a completely transparent manner. This typically involves closely liaising and working with officials (both career officials in the ministries as well as elected members of Korea's National Assembly) involved with the law and regulation making process, government groups and in some cases non-government organizations that are in a position to impact on future legal and regulatory changes, business advocacy groups both within the Korean Government structure as well as international chambers of commerce, officials from Embassies that are in a position to assist and supplement our advocacy efforts, media organizations and other policy impacting groups. On these types of projects, we typically work a long-term business impeding issue over an extended period of time, and our clients greatly value our ability to obtain additional helpful focus on their particular issues, and in some cases, actually assist in fundamental changes in law or regulation that can expand business opportunities in Korea. Our strategic issues management practitioners liaise with the senior government affairs executives of our international clients as well as business development executives and in-house counsel to develop an on-the-ground added-value service that supplements our international corporate practice. |
