After the merger of two established Korean firms in 2009, Daeryook and AJU, D&A has grown into one of Korea’s leading law firms, with more than 560 attorneys and professionals, including Korean and foreign-qualified attorneys, accountants, patent attorneys, and other specialized advisors, advising Korean and international clients across a wide range of industries. Headquartered in Seoul, the firm is recognized for its strength in corporate restructuring and insolvency, finance, corporate and M&A, litigation, regulatory compliance, and cross-border transactions.
D&A has built a strong reputation for its deep understanding of Korea’s regulatory and legislative landscape, advising multinational corporations, financial institutions, public entities, and emerging companies on complex and high-stakes matters. The firm is consistently recognized by leading legal directories, including Chambers and Partners and asialaw, for its technical excellence and client-focused approach.
In addition to its core legal practices, D&A is known for its forward-looking initiatives in regulatory risk management, ESG advisory services, and legal innovation, as well as its expanding international presence, including advisory capabilities focused on U.S. policy, cross-border matters, inbound and outbound investments, financing transactions, and strategic business initiatives.
“We are pleased to welcome D&A to the WSG network,” said Rafael Calvo Salinero, Chairman of World Services Group. “Korea is a critically important jurisdiction for our global clients, and D&A’s collaborative approach, impressive breadth of practice, and commitment to client service make the firm an ideal fit for our membership.
