Welcome to Sojong Lawyers!

 

This website has been created for our clients in Australia and Korea, to provide a portal for communication as well as general information about our firm, including the practice areas of Sojong Lawyers, past achievements, everyday legal information etc.


Sojong Lawyers was established in 2005 in Sydney, Australia by qualified lawyers to provide various legal services. As the name suggests, the firm has an established alliance with Sojong Partners in Seoul.

  

Our firm’s services can be divided into two large sections. Firstly, we provide various services for corporations and individuals within Australia. Secondly, we provide for foreign corporations the necessary advice and dispute resolution that occurs within their investment and transaction processes.

 

Within the international legal services area, Sojong Lawyers has also produced groundbreaking results concerning contracts, advisory work, civil litigation and other dispute resolution.


Recently, in relation to the Le Meilleur Golf Course case, which drew much attention from the Australian media, we acted for a Korean bank and were successful in bringing litigation against a top-tier firm.


Furthermore, we have also been successful in several international cases, which include acting for a Korean international shipping company and bringing a successful settlement, purchasing of a ranch twice the size of Seoul by a Korean corporation, the local sales contract of a leading Korean tire manufacturer, and advising a leading Korean electronics company.

 

With regards to our services within Australia, Sojong Lawyers provides various legal services that arise for individual Korean residents and businesses, both large and small.

 

General legal services including property conveyancing, purchase and sale of business, lease of business site, liquor license obtainment, trademark application, establishing and managing of a company, dispute resolution, injury compensation claims as well as family and immigration law services are provided as according to the needs of our clients.

  

  At Sojong Lawyers, we also fulfill our duty to care for the neglected members of our society. We have acted Pro bono for an ailing missionary and helped him receive his permanent residency visa, and also acted Pro bono and received permanent residency through ministerial appeal, for a relative who had been orphaned due to a fire explosion accident.

 

 

Sojong Lawyers provides legal services not only through fragments of legal knowledge, but through lawyers who have much practical experience in the investment, finance, and trading fields, we provide the most efficient services as according to our clients’ needs.

 

Within the rapid tides of change of domestic and international conditions, Sojong Lawyers will provide our clients with the best possible solution and become a foundation to your success.
