Jaekeun Lee of Yulchon Named Among Top 50 Dispute Resolution Lawyers in Asia

Three Domestic Law Firm Attorneys Selected by ALB
Recognized for Expertise in Major Corporate Disputes

Attorney Lee Jaekeun of Yulchon LLC has been selected as one of the "Top 50 Dispute Resolution Lawyers in Asia" announced by Asian Legal Business (ALB), a leading legal media outlet in the region.

ALB selects the 50 most prominent arbitration and litigation lawyers in Asia each year based on candidates' work achievements, market reputation, client and peer evaluations, and other factors. This year, a total of three lawyers from domestic law firms made the list.

Attorney Lee joined Yulchon in 2019 after serving as a judge for 17 years, during which he handled a variety of judicial work at the Seoul High Court, the National Court Administration, and the Supreme Court. In February last year, he was appointed as the head attorney of Yulchon’s Litigation Group.

Lee has been responsible for major litigation cases, including the divorce settlement lawsuit between SK Group Chairman Chey Taewon and Art Center Nabi Director Noh Soyeong, as well as the injunction case that allowed Korea Zinc and Young Poong to exercise their voting rights at the regular general meeting of shareholders.

Previously, Lee was also named one of the "Top 30 Asian Litigators of the Year" by ALB last year, and won the "Dispute Resolution Lawyer of the Year" award at the "ALB Korea Law Awards 2025."

Attorney Lee stated, "As corporate disputes become increasingly complex, offering answers to individual legal issues alone is not sufficient," emphasizing, "The role of a dispute resolution lawyer is to accurately identify the core of the case and design the solution path most advantageous to the client."
