Profile

Legal disputes can be determined not only by legal issues but also by the personal and business relationships between the parties, past events, and social backgrounds.
Therefore, there are situations in which it is important to think flexibly and not be limited by legal issues. I devote myself to studying a variety of laws and precedents, but I do not accept them as the "correct answer". I believe that thinking and struggling with my own mind will help me to improve my negotiation and problem-solving skills as a lawyer.
I am committed to the acquisition of specialist knowledge, always considering the background and essential causes of disputes, and doing my utmost effort to achieve the best solutions for my clients.
