Dentons Lee has been ranked as a Leading Firm in the Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2024 in both Labor and Employment (Tier 3) and Real Estate (Tier 4) practice areas for the second year in a row. The Firm was also announced as a notable firm in the Insurance practice area in the 'Firms to Watch: Insurance: Local Firms’ section.

For the labor and employment practice group of Dentons Lee, Legal 500 commented that “Dentons Lee's labour and employment practice assists a client base of domestic and international companies with a range of contentious and non-contentious matters. Practice head Yong-Moon Kim advises on corporate restructuring, individual employment matters, and cases of alleged workplace discrimination and harassment. Senior associates Yo-Sub Shim and Si-Won Lee assist corporate entities with HR matters, particularly on work concerning the Labour Standards Act and the Dispatch Act. Hye-In Kim is also recommended.”

For the Real Estate practice, Legal 500 noted that “With demonstrable experience in outbound and inbound real estate investments, trust establishments and property litigation, Dentons Lee is well-placed to handle a broad range of contentious mandates. The practice is co-led by Timothy Trinka and senior managing attorney Ghil-Won Jo, both of whom handle matters concerning the disposition and leasing of real property, real estate developments and project financings, as well as cross-border acquisitions. Corporate specialist Sung-Eun Stephan Kim is another key contact in the group.”

The Firm’s Insurance practice area has also been identified in the “Firms to Watch: Insurance” section, in recognition of its strengthened capabilities with the joining of Attorneys John Jungkyum Kim and Christina Jiwon Park.
