About Taeshin
A litigation-oriented law firm built by former judges, prosecutors, doctors, and police executives to serve foreign clients in Korea.
Who We Are
Taeshin Law Firm is a highly skilled team of legal professionals who have built their careers as judges, prosecutors, doctors, police executives, and attorneys at major Korean law firms. We unite these diverse backgrounds into one powerful litigation team dedicated to protecting our clients' rights.
Our firm was founded on a clear principle: foreign nationals in Korea deserve the same high-quality legal representation that Korean citizens receive, delivered in a language they fully understand. Every attorney at Taeshin is fluent in English, and we have built our practice around the specific needs of international clients.
We are not a generalist firm. We are litigation specialists. When your case goes to court, you want attorneys who have stood on both sides of the bench, who have prosecuted criminals, who have presided over trials, and who understand exactly what evidence persuades a Korean judge.
Our Core Strengths
Judicial & Prosecutorial Insight
Several of our attorneys have served as presiding judges and prosecutors. This means we understand how the prosecution builds cases, how judges evaluate evidence, and what arguments actually win in Korean courts.
Medical-Legal Dual Expertise
Our medical litigation team includes licensed physicians who also practice law. This is extraordinarily rare in Korea. We can read medical records like doctors and argue liability like lawyers, giving us an unmatched advantage in malpractice and injury cases.
Foreign Client Focus
From the initial consultation through final resolution, we handle every aspect of your case in English. We explain Korean legal concepts clearly, keep you informed at every stage, and ensure language is never a barrier to justice.
Law Enforcement Perspective
Attorneys with police executive backgrounds bring deep understanding of investigation procedures, evidence chain of custody, interrogation tactics, and law enforcement decision-making, critical for criminal defense.
Legal Service Agreement with US Forces Korea
Taeshin maintains an official legal service agreement with US Forces Korea. We provide specialized legal support for military personnel, civilian contractors, and their families stationed in Korea, handling matters from criminal defense to family law with full understanding of military procedures and SOFA agreements.
