At SJKP Experience easier, faster, and more convenient legal services

SJKP is a "One-Firm" where hundreds of lawyers and experts worldwide operate within a matrix system. Within SJKP's One-Firm system, legal processes are not handled solely through the knowledge of individual lawyers. Instead, hundreds of expert lawyers and teams specializing in specific fields—such as M&A, competition law (fair trade), intellectual property (IP), international arbitration, financial regulation, and corporate criminal law—collaborate organically to jointly respond to a single case.

When a company undertakes a large-scale merger or acquisition, the process does not end with simply drafting a contract. Issues such as taxation, HR and labor matters, reviews by competition authorities in various countries, and environmental regulations can arise simultaneously. In such cases, experts from SJKP's global offices collaborate to resolve all legal issues in an integrated manner.

Furthermore, even when criminal risks arise in corporate governance cases or real estate issues occur during M&A disputes, experts in the relevant fields from our global offices consult from multiple angles to review the case and strive to produce the optimal outcome.

SJKP is structured around highly experienced attorneys who take the lead in overseeing cases while directly supervising and managing junior attorneys. All cases are carried out consistently under the responsibility of experienced attorneys, maintaining a high level of quality and accountability throughout the entire process.

SJKP recognizes that clients often find it difficult to determine which area of expertise their case falls under, and accordingly has established a systematic consultation and case allocation system. Similar to how an emergency room accurately assesses a patient’s condition before connecting them to the appropriate specialist, SJKP follows the principle of assigning each case precisely to an attorney suited to its nature.

At the initial consultation stage, a dedicated attorney closely analyzes the key issues and legal characteristics of the case, and based on this assessment assigns the case to an attorney with sufficient experience in the relevant field. This approach prioritizes actual case-handling capability and expertise rather than relying on reputation or outward appearance.

SJKP’s experienced attorneys are directly involved in every stage of the case, from consultation and strategy development to document preparation, legal advisory, and court representation, while maintaining close communication with clients. Each case proceeds under the leadership of a highly experienced attorney, with systematic support from junior attorneys and field-specific experts, thereby providing prompt and precise legal services.

Just as a general practitioner may be able to perform simple treatments but finds it difficult to conduct high-difficulty surgeries, legal cases likewise must be handled by specialist attorneys with proven competence in each field, based on accurate classification and professional diagnosis.

For professionals such as attorneys and doctors, practical, on-site experience is directly linked to capability. In particular, it is a commonly accepted understanding in the legal field that the probability of achieving a favorable outcome for the client in a legal dispute is proportional to the number of attorneys assigned to the case.

Accordingly, SJKP has established strict internal standards and operates in such a way that only attorneys with sufficient legal career experience and practical expertise are able to take the lead in cases.

Under this principle, SJKP assigns multiple specialist attorneys with extensive experience and know-how to a single case, making it a fundamental rule to analyze the nature and complexity of the case from multiple perspectives and to provide practical, field-oriented solutions.

SJKP utilizes in-house AI programs developed by applying the latest legal tech to operate a case assignment system, a case review system that thoroughly checks all possibilities during legal consultations and case progress reviews, and a strategy simulation system designed to derive appropriate outcomes.

Furthermore, we actively introduce and utilize AI-program-based contract analysis tools and e-Discovery systems to efficiently handle due diligence, which requires reviewing millions of documents, and extensive case law research.

SJKP attorneys execute each stage of the entire case process with greater precision through these proprietary AI technologies, striving to produce results that satisfy our clients in every case.

Global mega-law firms are massive organizations that handle complex and large-scale legal issues for clients such as multinational corporations, financial institutions, and national governments. They operate based on thorough efficiency, expertise, and overwhelming economies of scale.

Like the U.S. global mega-law firms that dominate the global legal market, SJKP collaborates 24 hours a day across time zones from offices located in major cities worldwide, including New York, Washington D.C., Seoul, Busan, Los Angeles (scheduled to open), Shanghai (scheduled to open), and London (scheduled to open).

For example, in global M&A cases, lawyers from offices in three to four countries conduct simultaneous video conferences to jointly review regulations and policies in each country, analyze the entity, strengths, and risks of the corporation, and formulate comprehensive strategies. This provides a solid legal foundation to secure a competitive edge in multinational transactions or disputes. Furthermore, regulatory and policy fluidity in specific countries can be immediately and accurately identified and addressed through local counsel at the relevant country's offices.

SJKP possesses a database of resources and data secured through the cases it has handled in-house for numerous corporate and individual clients, as well as countless precedents, contract forms, and case law analysis data obtained from around the world.

Furthermore, we spare no large-scale investment in building systems to effectively utilize our in-house AI program-based research tools, contract analysis platforms, and vast internal legal databases. Through this, we strive to simultaneously improve both operational efficiency and quality.

Consequently, these extensive resources and data serve as the driving force to find solutions with greater efficiency and reduced uncertainty, even for unique cases encountered for the first time.

SJKP is composed of hundreds of lawyers and field experts, enabling it to handle large-scale and complex transactions simultaneously. These professionals possess years of accumulated know-how in specific industries and legal fields, allowing them to respond to unprecedented cases based on similar experience.

Furthermore, SJKP offers them industry-leading compensation, thereby broadly recruiting talent from leading global law schools, as well as former judges, prosecutors, and experts in government and regulatory fields.

For global mega-law firms like SJKP, the scale of their worldwide network and their extensive experience in handling cases serve as their negotiating power in themselves. The firm's name itself can exert powerful influence over opposing parties in disputes or regulatory bodies.

The fact that a global mega-law firm has represented a specific company or issued a Legal Opinion also serves as an important strategic advantage that enhances negotiating power by conveying legal credibility to corporate boards, investors, the industry, regulatory bodies, and counterparties.

Complex disputes and cases require collaboration across various specialized fields, such as evidence analysis, digital forensics, and risk management, in addition to legal response. Rather than performing these specialized tasks directly, SJKP provides the necessary support to clients through collaboration with verified external agencies and experts in each respective area.

When digital forensics, investigations, or other specialized services are required depending on the characteristics and needs of a case, we select and connect trusted experts and manage the entire process in an integrated manner. This allows clients to efficiently proceed with their cases through a single point of contact, without the burden of having to find and coordinate experts separately.

Based on close collaboration with experts in each field, SJKP supports the organic connection between legal strategy and execution.

SJKP provides services based on clear fee standards and transparent retainer procedures so that clients can entrust their cases to us with trust. We maintain consistent quality standards throughout the entire case execution process, and if a client is not satisfied after accepting a case, we take immediate corrective action. Even if we are unable to provide satisfaction despite these efforts, we have a policy of immediately settling and refunding the retainer fee already paid, depending on the progress of the case.

SJKP understands that the conclusion of a case is not the end. Therefore, we listen attentively to the voices of our clients, receive inquiries and sincere feedback, and share them with all members. Client stories do not end with mere complaints but lead to actual service improvements and attentive responses from our lawyers.

Through a real-time online communication application developed in-house by SJKP, clients can ask questions and receive answers in real-time with the senior lawyers and the case team handling their case, and easily check the case's progress and related documents. Ultimately, SJKP does not overlook even the slightest voice from our customers; we thoroughly review every opinion and incorporate all reasonable suggestions into our systems. We will use customer complaints as the driving force to innovate our systems so that the same issues never arise again for anyone, and customer satisfaction as a solid foundation to strengthen our systems and provide better service to everyone.

Nourishing the experiences and support of our countless clients, SJKP will continue to advance unhesitatingly.
