A Korean law practice, working in English.
Korea Business Setup is the foreign-client practice of Leviathan Law, a Korean law practice in Gangnam, Seoul. We set up Korean companies, branches and liaison offices for people and businesses that are not in Korea, and we keep them compliant afterwards.

What we are trying to do
Make the Korean entry process legible. A foreign founder should be able to see what the structure options are, what each one costs, what the state will charge on top, and what happens after registration — before signing anything. Most of the frustration in this market comes from that information being withheld until you have already paid.
Same firm,different door.
The same firm runs two other foreign-client practices. If your question is closer to one of these, start there.
Talk to the attorney who will handle it.
Inquiries go to the practice directly, not to a call centre. Write in English; a reply comes back within one Korean business day.
