Amid the increasing competition between the US and China, Southeast Asia and India have emerged as new hubs for global supply chains and investment. In response to this trend, Jipyong established an India Team in 2024 to provide specialized legal services for the Indian market. Numerous Korean companies in the automotive, electronics, and financial sectors have already expanded into India, creating various legal needs related to establishing new corporations, acquiring licenses, and forming joint ventures. To address this demand, the Jipyong India Team has built a strong network of Indian law firms with varying sizes and specialties.
Jipyong provides reliable legal services, by leveraging the extensive overseas experience of Jipyong’s attorneys and the local expertise of foreign attorneys in India. Notably, Jipyong became the first major Korean law firm to establish a presence in Myanmar in 2012, a location geographically and institutionally close to India. This early foothold has allowed Jipyong to deepen its understanding of the Indian market and legal framework. Following regulatory changes that opened up India’s legal market, Jipyong has rapidly adapted and further strengthened our expertise since 2023.
The India Team has established a close network of cooperation with various expert groups, including international law firms, local law firms, accounting firms, technology consulting firms, and consulting firms in India, to provide prompt and accurate legal advice tailored to the needs of our clients.
