White Collar Defense & Investigations

Defense and advisory in regulatory investigations, criminal proceedings, and corporate compliance.

Our Approach

Taegwang represents companies and individuals in white collar criminal matters, regulatory investigations, and internal investigations. The practice is led by attorneys who have served at the most senior levels of the Korean prosecutors' office.

We handle matters at every stage — from pre-investigation advisory and voluntary disclosure to indictment, trial, and post-conviction proceedings. Our approach draws on both prosecutorial experience and judicial perspective, providing clients with a clear-eyed assessment of risk and strategy.

We act for multinational corporations facing Korean regulatory inquiries, executives in cross-border criminal matters, and foreign nationals in Korean criminal proceedings.
