Quick Answer

Civil litigation in Korea covers disputes over contracts, damages, property, and money claims. Cases range from negotiation and demand letters to full trial and enforcement of judgments. Early assessment of the claim, evidence, and the other party's position shapes the right strategy.

From Demand to Trial

Many civil disputes are resolved through negotiation or a formal demand before litigation. Where they are not, the case proceeds through the Korean courts, which generally involve written pleadings and hearing dates. We advise on the appropriate stage to escalate and prepare accordingly.

Evidence and Provisional Measures

Civil litigation turns on documents and a clear factual record. Where assets or evidence may be moved, provisional attachment or other measures can protect a claim. We advise on timing and the measures appropriate to each case.

International Civil Disputes

Where a party or assets are abroad, questions of jurisdiction and enforcement arise. We advise foreign clients and businesses on proceeding in Korea and on enforcing a Korean judgment elsewhere.
