Global Competence
Introduction
Canada offers a stable and diverse economy, a robust financial system, and competitive corporate tax rates, making it a prime destination for international business and foreign investment.
Its strategic location provides easy access to the U.S. and global markets, supported by trade agreements such as USMCA, CETA, and CPTPP. With a highly skilled workforce and open immigration policies, Canada fosters a business-friendly environment. Its strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability further enhances its appeal as a global business hub.
DLG’s Canada Desk, based in Vancouver, capitalizes on these strategic advantages and the city’s unique geographic and cultural connectivity to both Asia and North America. As Vancouver emerges as a leading tech hub in North America, our office provides tailored advisory services to Korean startups and technology-driven companies seeking rapid innovation and expand into global markets.
Led by Attorney Jay Shin—the first and only Korean law firm partner based in Canada—our Vancouver Office provides seamless legal support to clients with cross-border business interests in both Canada and Korea.
