O’Melveny has hired a new partner and co-head of its Seoul office from Paul Hastings, the firm has announced.

New joiner Daniel Sae-Chin Kim was most recently Korea head of corporate at Paul Hastings where he spent more than 18 years. He was previously based in the firm’s Hong Kong office. His hire comes quick on the heels of O’Melveny’s new Seoul-based corporate practice counsel Jinkang Albert Nah, who also joins from Paul Hastings.
