Since people are more sensitive to inheritance gift taxes than other taxes, and because advice and litigation on inheritance and gift taxes require more comprehensive consultation based on extensive knowledge and experience in the fields of household affairs, civil affairs, finance, and real estate as well as tax laws, the Family Law Team at Jipyong consists of experts in these fields to provide such consultation. In particular, as the fields of inheritance, household affairs, and family business succession are not restricted to family law issues, extending to matters related to M&As involving corporate governance restructuring, the Family Law Team endeavors to maximize the synergy effect by also involving experts in corporate and finance matters.
Jipyong’s Family Law Team consists of Korean attorneys, foreign attorneys, and certified public accounts that possess vast experiences and expertise accumulated by dealing with numerous inheritance and gift tax cases. Utilizing such know-hows, we provide the most suitable services such as advice on inheritance and gift taxes, litigation, and family business succession. In particular, to give high-level and tailored service on international inheritance tax, attorneys closely interact with overseas branches.
