About Taeshin
A litigation-oriented law firm built by former judges, prosecutors, doctors, and police executives to serve foreign clients in Korea.
Who We Are
Taeshin Law Firm is a highly skilled team of legal professionals who have built their careers as judges, prosecutors, doctors, police executives, and attorneys at major Korean law firms. We unite these diverse backgrounds into one powerful litigation team dedicated to protecting our clients' rights.
Our firm was founded on a clear principle: foreign nationals in Korea deserve the same high-quality legal representation that Korean citizens receive, delivered in a language they fully understand. Full English-language case support is available for international clients, and we have built our practice around the specific needs of foreign nationals.
We are not a generalist firm. We are litigation specialists. When your case goes to court, you want attorneys who have stood on both sides of the bench, who have prosecuted criminals, who have presided over trials, and who understand exactly what evidence persuades a Korean judge.
Our Core Strengths
Judicial & Prosecutorial Insight
Attorneys on our team have served as judges and prosecutors. This brings practical insight into Korean prosecution, investigation procedures, how courts evaluate evidence, and the legal and procedural arguments commonly evaluated by Korean courts.
Medical-Legal Dual Expertise
Our team includes licensed medical doctors who also practice law, providing integrated medical and legal analysis for malpractice and healthcare-related disputes. We can read medical records like doctors and argue liability like lawyers.
Foreign Client Focus
From the initial consultation through final resolution, we provide clear English-language case support. We explain Korean legal concepts clearly, keep you informed at every stage, and work to ensure language is never a barrier to understanding your case.
Law Enforcement Perspective
Attorneys with police executive backgrounds bring deep understanding of investigation procedures, evidence chain of custody, interrogation tactics, and law enforcement decision-making, critical for criminal defense.
Trusted by International Institutions
Our international work includes matters referred or supported by foreign diplomatic missions in Korea.
