It began in 1961 as a patent firm, serving the needs of international corporations doing business in Korea. As Korean international commerce and technology has grown during the past 57 years, so too has Dentons Lee evolving to become a highly sophisticated full-service law and intellectual property firm, with unsurpassed knowledge and experience at the intersection of technology and law, and with a keen understanding of the needs of international clients in cross-border transactions.

Dentons Lee understands technology like no other law firm.
