Choi & Kim (asialaw)
Overview
Established in 1997, Choi & Kim pioneered maritime law in South Korea, specialising in maritime, insurance and disputes. Having set the standard, the firm has built a reputation as a leader in the sector with clients including international oil pollution compensation funds, protection and indemnity clubs, and shipping companies. Choi & Kim's client base extends internationally, advising and representing companies like Maersk and CMA CGM on legal issues through litigation and arbitration. Given the number of maritime incidents under Seoul and Busan jurisdictions, the firm operates in both cities. Based in Seoul for more than 25 years, the firm expanded to Busan in 2023 to offer more efficient, affordable services for Busan cases.
