PRACTICE AREA

U.S.-Korean Cross-Border Legal Services

Legal guidance for individuals, families, and businesses whose assets, heirs, and legal matters span the United States and Korea.

This May Be Right for You If…

You or your family own assets in both the United States and Korea

You need U.S. documents for use in Korea, or Korean documents for use here

Your heirs, parents, or business partners live in Korea

You face an inheritance or divorce matter that involves both countries

You live in Korea and have a legal matter in the United States

You prefer to work with attorneys in both Korean and English

We Help With

Cross-border matters are not U.S. matters with a foreign footnote. We handle the U.S. side and coordinate the Korean side so the two fit together.

​

  • U.S. legal matters for clients who live in Korea, handled in Korean or English

  • Korean inheritance, divorce, and family property questions, coordinated with Korean-licensed counsel

  • U.S.-signed documents for use in Korea, including powers of attorney

  • Notarization, including remote online notarization, and apostille coordination

  • Certified translations and Korean civil records, such as family relation certificates

  • Coordination with Korean attorneys, tax advisors, and financial institutions

Services May Include

Cross-border issues often arise inside another practice area. Where they do, we bring the Korean context into that work:

​

  • Estate plans for heirs and assets in both countries → Estate Planning & Wealth Transfer

  • U.S. probate and trust administration for heirs in Korea → Estate Planning & Wealth Transfer

  • Gift, inheritance, and foreign reporting coordination → Advanced Tax Planning

  • U.S. entities and contracts for Korean companies and investors → Business Law

  • E-2, L-1, and other visa options for Korean nationals → Immigration

  • Disputes involving parties, evidence, or judgments in Korea → Civil Litigation

​

Advice on Korean law is provided only by Korean-licensed counsel, either on our team or at independent Korean law firms.

Practical guidance. Sophisticated planning. Trusted representation.
