If you’re interested in doing business in Korea because of the many business and investment opportunities available, you’ll need to hire a law firm in Korea and employ a Korean lawyer. But this can be difficult because Korea is a foreign country with different ways of doing things. Luckily, there’s a free report that shows you what to do and what questions to ask, too.

Here’s a part of the report:
“This may seem obvious but your Korean attorney in Seoul needs to possess the ability to understand native-level English and be able to communicate clearly in English. This is not only for your benefit when communicating with your Korean lawyer, but English fluency is essential for communicating with other parties that may be involved in your situation.
Imagine the frustration you would feel if the Korean attorney consistently gives you a deer caught-in-the-headlights look whenever you spoke to him or her. Or if you’re talking on the phone and there’s a long pause. Or if you have to always repeat yourself. Major pain in the you-know-where.
Avoid this situation altogether by doing a preliminary check on the Korean lawyer’s English ability. Don’t trust English language test results such as a TOEIC or TOEFL score. I repeat, DON’T trust English language test results such as a TOEIC or TOEFL score.
A high score on an English proficiency test is not a reliable indicator of actual English ability.
You need to personally speak to the Korean attorney and all other individuals with whom you will be dealing with and judge their English ability for yourself. Judging by emails is unreliable because emails could be written by anyone.”
