We routinely advise companies on data protection and privacy compliance in relation to a wide range of service launches both in Korea and abroad, as well as data breach and regulatory investigations.

Our clients come from all industries including IT, retail and distribution, pharmaceuticals, video gaming, streaming services, e-commerce and financial services.
BKL conducts evaluation and assessment of data protection and privacy risks based on comparative analysis and our working knowledge of both domestic and overseas personal data regulatory systems, and provides regulatory and compliance advice to produce optimized solutions based on such risk assessment. With the heightened regulatory requirements for data protection and privacy in both the EU and the US, which have global reach and thus practical implications for companies directing their services towards EU and California residents regardless of where the company is located, effective legal advice in today’s highly connected world of business requires the understanding of both the domestic and overseas legal requirements applicable to the handling of personal data.
BKL also provides services to help companies build an efficient governance system for big data, AI and Mydata while minimizing the legal risks. The new opportunities made possible by big data are accompanied by myriad issues of data protection and privacy requiring thorough legal review and effective risk controls and response measures.
BKL also provides advisory services in connection with administrative measures and investigations by relevant administrative agencies in accordance with laws and regulations related to personal information.
Moreover, BKL provides prompt advice in case of personal information infringement incidents and data breaches, and dedicated representation in civil and criminal litigation based on profound expertise and vast experience.
