Shin & Kim offers its clients an established dispute resolution offering that focuses on six core specialised litigation practice groups: administrative, tax and fair trade law; construction, real estate and project finance; capital markets and financial disputes; corporate labour and bankruptcy; intellectual property and product liability; and criminal. The team has a strong reputation for public law, construction and real estate, financial, general corporate and intellectual property disputes. The firm’s international litigation practice group has grown rapidly in the past year, as domestic clients increasingly face entanglements abroad.
A recent claim to fame was the firm’s starring role and victory for SK Broadband in the dispute over network usage fees between Netflix and SK Telecom. It was a high-profile lawsuit that garnered worldwide interest, which the Shin & Kim lawyers helped its team win in the trial of first instance. In another headline-grabbing matter, the commercial disputes team acted for Asiana Airlines and Kumho E&C as the plaintiffs in a dispute over a contract deposit following the failed acquisition of Asiana Airlines.
The firm’s stable of clients includes Amosense, Cho Kun Dang Pharmaceutical Corporation, CJ, Gilead Sciences, Helixmith, Industrial Bank of Korea, Pine Tree Partners, Regus Group, Samsung, Seoul Broadcasting System, STX Heavy Industries and Vidente Corporation.
