This week, Shearman & Sterling associate Justin Chang is off to Korea, where he hopes to develop relationships that can generate future business. And he and his firm aren't alone. Though China grabs the headlines, Korea and its economy -- the 11th largest worldwide -- are increasingly in the sights of U.S. firms hoping to expand global practices. A handful are lobbying the government there to open up the country to foreign law offices, a step some say could happen as early as next year.

As a boy, Justin Chang remembers his attorney father advising Korean-based companies. Long before Hyundai and Samsung were household names here, Korean executives would visit Chang’s home near Los Angeles. His parents were passengers on the first Korean Air flight from Los Angeles to Seoul, just after the airline was privatized.
Chang has grown up — he’s now an associate in the San Francisco office of Shearman & Sterling — and so has the Korean economy, now the 11th largest in the world.
