"After two years of trying to collect a debt from our Korean distributor, we finally hired Saemunan. They filed the lawsuit within a week and got us a judgment in 5 months. The defendant paid in full right after the judgment. Should have hired them from day one."

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about suing in Korea
How do I know if I have a case?
You likely have a case if: (1) You have a clear legal right (contract, law, regulation), (2) Someone violated that right, (3) You suffered quantifiable damages, (4) The statute of limitations hasn't expired (typically 3-10 years in Korea). We offer free case assessments to give you an honest evaluation.
Do I need to come to Korea for the lawsuit?
Usually no. In most commercial cases, you don't need to physically appear in Korean court. We can represent you through power of attorney. You may need to provide documents, give written statements, or do video depositions from your home country. Physical appearance is only required in rare cases.
What's the statute of limitations in Korea?
It depends on the claim type: Contract disputes: 10 years, Debt collection: 10 years (3 years for commercial transactions), Torts/damages: 3 years from when you knew of the damage, Employment claims: 3 years. The clock typically starts when the violation occurred or when you discovered it.
