Cho & Partners was established in July of 2002 by Mr. Tae-Yeon Cho and Mr. Ik-Hyun Seo. Both were senior members of a large IP firm in Korea before deciding to create a new firm that would be more focused and responsive to the needs and demands of their sophisticated clients. The firm began with a strong base of primarily large multi-national companies, and has continued to expand successfully in this direction. The firm represents among the largest and most recognized companies in various business sectors, such as: software and computer technology, general retailing, fashion and luxury goods, energy, etc. Detailed references are available upon request. Notwithstanding the firm’s relatively recent establishment, the firm is already acknowledged as being among the top intellectual property practices in Korea. Also, its founding members have been recognized by various legal publications as among the leading intellectual property attorneys in Korea.
