Facing a Korean Counterparty in a Dispute? Know Your Real Leverage.
Korean litigation and arbitration procedure, evidence rules, and negotiation dynamics differ meaningfully from what you’re used to at home — and that gap works against you if you don’t have local counsel.
Why it matters
Korean civil procedure relies heavily on documentary evidence — the way you preserve and present documents from the outset can decide the case.
Arbitration under KCAB International offers a faster, more predictable alternative to litigation for cross-border disputes — but only if the arbitration clause was drafted correctly in the first place.
A Korean counterparty often assumes a foreign party won’t actually litigate locally — local representation immediately changes that calculus.
