Our Experience
BKL’s International Arbitration Practice is widely regarded as a market leading practice in Korea and abroad in Asia. We have secured some of the most important and landmark victories for our clients, including a complete victory for Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. in an arbitration seeking to reclaim the equity in, and control of, Hyundai Oilbank Co., Ltd.. There is a reason why BKL’s International Arbitration Practice has been consistently rated in the top-bracket by leading legal directories -- because we achieve results and we win.

Depending on the industry or the issues that are in dispute, we are able to engage industry specialists to ensure our advice is responsive to your specific objectives only, commercial, legal or otherwise. It matters not where you are from. BKL’s International Arbitration Practice consists of Korea-qualified attorneys who are bilingual and foreign-qualified attorneys who bring a different cultural dimension to the team. We regularly cooperate with co-counsel in firms in all major and emerging jurisdictions to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.
Full Legal Services across All Areas of Industry
BKL’s International Arbitration team has successfully represented clients over the past two decades in international arbitration cases involving finance and M&A, construction, energy, IT and technology, insurance, pharmaceutical and other sectors, with a particular specialism in post-M&A, construction, finance and investor-state arbitrations.
BKL’s International Arbitration Practice consists of attorneys who can take ownership of your dispute and guide you throughout the lifecycle of the dispute, as advisor during the pre-arbitration or negotiation phase, as lead counsel in formal arbitration proceedings, and as Korean counsel in court proceedings in connection with any interim measures or enforcement matters before the Korean courts.
