In December 1986, a joint law firm, run by In Sub Kim, Jae Shik Lee and Eui-in Hwang, was expanded and newly established as a law firm Bae, Kim & Lee (later, the firm was converted to a limited liability company) with the participation of other two foundation attorneys, Myungin Bae and Jung-Hoon Lee. Since he has handled corporate civil and criminal litigation, rehabilitations and restructuring, as well as advising and representing clients in the area of intellectual property.
