Introduction
Litigation arises after a dispute has already occurred, requiring post-facto procedures in which the adjudicating body (court or prosecutor’s office) must be persuaded in order to obtain the desired outcome. Accordingly, the decisive factor is not merely the objective facts, but the extent to which persuasive evidence can be secured and presented to the adjudicating authority.
For international clients, litigation entails not only the resolution of the case itself but also additional time and costs in communication with the law firm compared to domestic clients. From the stage of litigation engagement—such as obtaining an apostille, addressing translation issues, and handling requests and submissions of documents necessary for enforcement proceedings—guidance and coordination on procedures conducted through domestic authorities become critically important. These matters require both practical experience and professional expertise.
DLG Law Corporation has extensive experience in handling inbound litigation matters on behalf of international clients through Korean institutions. The firm has represented numerous international companies in offensive litigation against their Korean counterparties, as well as in defensive litigation where Korean counterparties initiated proceedings against foreign clients.
In addition, among matters frequently arising in international client cases, DLG has substantial experience in handling employment and labor disputes involving employees hired in Korea, as well as in filing criminal complaints regarding fraud, embezzlement, and breach of trust related to corporate funds. The firm also provides comprehensive, one-stop services for foreign nationals, including criminal defense before investigative agencies and courts, followed by representation in immigration violation reviews before the Immigration Office. Drawing on its broad experience in both inbound and outbound investment advisory, DLG also provides specialized representation in disputes between foreign investors and Korean companies, Korean investors and foreign companies, and between domestic and international investors.
Furthermore, DLG is staffed with legal professionals licensed in multiple jurisdictions, including the United States, Germany, Canada, and China. The firm also maintains an extensive network of foreign attorneys in jurisdictions such as Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Cambodia, enabling it to deliver legal services tailored to the diverse needs of international clients.
