One of the first U.S. law firms to establish an Asia-based practice in the mid-1970s, Milbank has a long history of doing business in Korea, well before foreign law firms began to be licensed to practice in the country in 2012.

Milbank represents leading international and Korean corporations, financial institutions and government agencies on a wide variety of sophisticated in-bound and out-bound transactions, including project finance, M&A and private equity investments, and disputes, as well as cutting-edge aviation and transportation finance. The firm frequently advises on large project financings with support from official export-credit agencies, the Export-Import Bank of Korea (K-Exim) and the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation (K-sure).

“We are delighted to establish our newest office in Seoul and to have a permanent, central address from which to serve our many Korean clients as well as international companies doing business in Korea,” said Milbank Chairman Scott Edelman.

“Given the extensive working relationships we have inside Korea’s public and private sectors, it will be a great advantage to have a full-time office closer to our clients – and to better coordinate with our offices globally, in Asia, Europe and Latin America, as well as the U.S.,” Mr. Edelman added. Milbank now has a dozen offices worldwide, including in Tokyo, Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore in Asia.

Having attended a leading high school in Korea, Mr. Kim graduated from Yale College and Harvard Law School. He is regarded as one of the leading lawyers’ active in Korea.
