Sy Nae Kim – Yulchon

Yulchon boasts a top-tier practice handling a wide array of corporate and financial disputes, with a growing focus on cryptocurrency and blockchain-related cases stemming from its traditionally strong financial dispute practice. The team, known for representing major Korean conglomerates, is co-led by Il Bong Moon, a specialist in post-M&A arbitration, and Yong Pyo Yeom, who focuses on debt, equity, and contentious construction, tax, and real estate matters. Sy Nae Kim is a key figure in cross-border dispute matters with strong capabilities in private international law issues, treaties and conventions, while Ik Hyun Kim handles trust, white-collar crime, and real estate and has recently expanded his expertise into newer fields of practice such as mobility, blockchain, product liability, and logistics matters.
