Emerging Companies
"BKL is not a law firm that provides services to clients based solely on legal knowledge. BKL's lawyers think together and prepare countermeasures from the perspective of clients."

Overview
We have distinct insights gained from our extensive experience in advising emerging companies, which allows us to understand and anticipate the various needs of our emerging company clients and help them achieve growth and success.
Comprehensive legal solutions for all stages of growth
We have been a key strategic advisor to many emerging companies, and attorneys in our emerging companies practice have developed the ability to anticipate the needs of clients as they move through each stage of growth. We counsel entrepreneurs starting new businesses and offer our expertise on organization and incorporation, operation, funding, overseas expansion, initial public offering and other complex business and legal issues through the entire growth cycle of a business.
Forward thinking compliance advice aligned with innovative business models
Our attorneys have the business acumen and legal expertise to understand the business models and goals of each emerging company client and provide practical advice relating to regulatory and compliance risk. Where required, we advise clients on supplementing and modifying their business models to meet their objectives, but where necessary given the nature of their business, we actively engage in discussions with the regulatory authorities to seek authoritative interpretations or amendment of laws and regulations that would enable clients to proceed with their desired business models.
Expert knowledge in various incentives for start-ups and emerging companies
We are committed to helping clients achieve long-term success and thoroughly seek to ensure that they get the full benefit of any special incentive programs available for start-ups and emerging companies, including those under the Act on Special Measures for the Promotion of Startup Businesses, the Special Tax Treatment Control Act and the special rules for listing of fast-growing technology companies.
Efficient service within reach
In 2018, BKL opened a branch office in Pangyo, the hub of emerging companies in Korea. With proximity to many emerging companies, we are able to serve our clients with efficiency, focus and cost-effectiveness.
