  • ‘The greatest strength of the A&O Shearman team is its members, who possess competent legal expertise and vast experience in different kinds of projects. The legal advice provided by the A&O Shearman team can always be relied upon to make progress in deadlock conflicting situations, and their meticulous documentation capabilities ensure that all negotiated terms are accurately documented without any parts being left out. I strongly recommend A&O Shearman for any Korean clients as its Seoul office is staffed with capable lawyers with Korean backgrounds who proficiently practice English law.’

  • ‘I have worked with Henry Sohn and Inhong Kim in regard to three different projects. In all of these projects, their legal advice added value to the project and facilitated the negotiation and documentation of long and complicated terms and conditions. Their sincere and attentive services in representing our interests have certainly gained our trust. It brings great comfort to review and negotiate a deal with their presence and assistance.’
