Seum Law

SEUM is a boutique law firm founded by attorneys from Korea’s top firms that provides general legal services in a variety of practice areas with a focus on startup and emerging companies, technology companies and venture capital funds. We work with Korean and international clients on a regular basis handling a broad range of local and cross-border matters and provide clear and practical advice regarding the Korean market. Some of our clients include investment funds such as 500 Startups, Legend Capital, and Mirae Asset; large corporations such as Hanwha, Naver, Line, Smilegate and CJ E&M; as well as startup companies such as Lezhin Comics, Fly & Company, MangoPlate and JobPlanet. SEUM was one of 15 law firms featured in Asian Legal Business's "Firms to Watch" list for 2017 and selected again by Asian Legal Business as one of the best boutique law firms in Korea. At SEUM, many of our clients take innovative approaches to tackle difficult and new challenges arising in the constantly evolving information age. The Korean legal profession struggles to keep pace with the rapid speed of technology and to understand modern companies and entrepreneurs. SEUM takes a different approach by embracing change and striving to be at the forefront of innovation both in Korea and globally. Not only do we enjoy working with technology and startup clients to advise on novel legal issues and create new precedents, but similarly we aim to create a firm culture that is innovative, inclusive and more in-line with the international community in the 21st century.
