KARRIERENMÖGLICHKEITEN IN DEUTSCHLAND

Global network

We have a team of internationally trained and experienced lawyers with local know-how ready to undertake the largest and most complex of legal matters in their fields of practice. We are a trusted business adviser to Korean and non-Korean based corporate clients taking full advantage of our global network.

A growing business

Our office in Seoul opened in 2013, though we had represented a diverse group of major Korean companies for many years previously. Since the US-South Korea and EU-South Korea free trade agreements were ratified in 2011, which opened the Korean legal market to foreign law firms, creating a strong Korean presence was a priority for us.

Our achievements

Global leader

For the ninth consecutive year, DLA Piper earned the top legal advisor ranking globally for overall M&A deal volume in 2018, according to Mergermarket’s league tables. DLA Piper was also ranked number one by Thomson Reuters in its 2018 M&A deal volume ranking. With these results, DLA Piper consolidates its position as a leading global legal advisor.
