Q&A | Sungeun Cho | Corporate

Okay. Hello, my name is Hung Jo. I’m the managing partner of Seahhan LLC in Soul, South Korea. I have been practicing law for 18 years. My professional background includes experience at Shinang Kim, one of major four law firms in Korea. Beyond my legal training, I have very unique executive background. I served as a COO of a listed company for three and a half years. this hands-on experience allows me to provide legal advice that is not just theoretically sound but also highly practical for corporate operations. Today I specialize in

corporate advisory M&A and high stakes corporate reg litigations. at San LLC we provide big firm quality with boutique agility. our clients receive top tier expertise at a more competitive fee structure than major law firms. One of our key strength is our in-house corporate registration team. This is a significant advantage for foreign investors. we’ve offer a seamless one-stop service from initial incorporation for incorporation and market entry to ongoing compliance and resolving complex legal disputes.

I represented the first portfolio of clients ranging from multinational corporations and their Korean subsidiaries to stateowned enterprises and specialized companies like MSOs which are companies that manage clinics. My expertise covers a full spectrum of corporate needs with a master’s degree in tax law. I could say I’m a specialist in tax litigation and appeals. furthermore, drawing on my experience as a COO, I provide strategic counsel on labor relations, HR compliance and management control disputes. I try to bridge the gap between complex legal requirements and real world business

needs. landmark achievement in my career involved a 350 billion one damage claim representing a Malaysian investor against Korean state-owned entity regarding a largecale resort project. It was an incredibly encompassed case involving land ownership and contra contractual breaches. I successfully led the negotiation to a 160 billion1 approximately 120 bill million dollars settlement which significantly mitigated our clients potential losses. I’ve also achieved numerous victories in tax appeals and shareholder disputes consistently delivering favorable outcomes in high pressure situations.

I joined GLE to be a reliable bridge for international clients looking to navigate the Korean market. South Korea’s legal and regulatory environment can be difficult for foreign entities to understand. my goal is to use my dual expertise as a veteran lawyer and a former corporate executive to provide the strategic clarity to my client’s need. Whether you are planning an investment, managing a subsidiary, or facing a dispute in Korea, I’m here to ensure your business interests are protected.
