For the 17th consecutive year, BKL has been recognized as the “Employer of Choice 2025” by Asian Legal Business (ALB), a leading provider of expert legal intelligence across the Asia-Pacific region.
ALB conducts an annual survey to determine the recipients of this distinction. The selection is based on comprehensive feedback from professionals at major law firms in the region, evaluating key factors such as job satisfaction, compensation, work-life balance, career prospects, mentorship, job stability, and transparency in promotion.
Since his appointment as Managing Partner in 2024, Mr. Joonki Yi has implemented a “matrix organization” structure—an uncommon approach among law firms—designed to foster seamless collaboration between support staff and professional teams. Consistent with its founding philosophy that “people are the alpha and omega of a law firm,” BKL has embraced a horizontal organizational structure since its establishment in 1980. BKL’s competitive strength lies in its democratic governance, culture of collaboration and communication, and a strong commitment to justice grounded in top-tier professional competence. This organizational ethos enables us to provide client-focused services with the highest standard of excellence.
