Last year, South Korea and the United States agreed on U.S.-bound strategic investments totaling 350 billion dollars during tariff negotiations. Subsequently, on June 18, the "Special Act on the Operation and Management of Strategic Investments between the Republic of Korea and the United States of America" came into effect, leading to the official launch of the Korea-U.S. Strategic Investment Corporation. Yulchon established the center in order to proactively respond to legal and institutional issues that may arise when Korean companies, government agencies, or public institutions invest in the United States.

The center's responsibilities include legal and institutional reviews for U.S.-bound investment projects, designing investment structures, responding to U.S. federal and state government regulations and approvals, advising on investment contracts and project matters, formulating response strategies to changes in Korea-U.S. trade and industrial policies, and addressing disputes or risks arising during the investment process.

The head of the center is Managing Partner Son Doil from Yulchon. Participating members include attorneys Son Geumjoo, Lee Youngsang, and foreign attorney Lee Taehyuk, along with advisors Moon Seungwook, Ahn Wangi, and Jo Gourae. In addition, major counsel will be provided by experts such as Yulchon attorneys Shin Dongchan, An Junghye, Choi Yonghwan, as well as international trade, investment, energy, and overseas construction sector specialists like Lee Kyungjoon (Hosa).

Managing Partner Son stated, "It is essential to comprehensively assess and respond to U.S. policy directions, regulatory environments, and local business conditions as Korean investment expands into actual business projects in the United States. We will provide practical support to help companies translate investment opportunities into concrete business ventures."
