Korean firm Yulchon has hired a former O’Melveny & Myers lawyer to co-lead its international dispute resolution practice.
U.S.-qualified YongSang Kim represents corporate clients on criminal litigation and investigations as well as antitrust civil litigation. Kim also advises on international arbitration cases, including acting for the South Korean government in a treaty-based investor-state dispute before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. Last year, he successfully represented Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration, a client of his since 2008, in a commercial dispute in California.
