Amid the US-China hegemonic competition, geopolitical conflicts, climate change, pandemics, and rapid technological transformations epitomized by artificial intelligence, corporations face increasingly complex and multifaceted risks. These challenges transcend specific legal domains, emerging as comprehensive issues inextricably interwoven with industry, regulation, policy, and international affairs.
While past corporate decision-making focused primarily on cost and efficiency, factors such as geopolitics, national security, and supply chain resilience now play equally significant roles in strategic decision-making. Consequently, ensuring sustainable corporate growth demands more meticulous and strategic responses than ever before.
In this evolving landscape, Jipyong’s Global Risk Management & Strategy Center offers comprehensive solutions for legal and policy matters arising from corporate cross-border transactions, including import/export operations and overseas investments. Recognizing a new international order where law, policy, economics, and politics are inextricably linked, the Center leverages organic collaboration among Jipyong’s legal expert groups, the Jipyong Technology Center, ESG Center, and Jipyong IP to create synergies and deliver differentiated services. Supported by Jipyong’s network of overseas law firms, including its own offices abroad, the Center provides rapid and reliable one-stop solutions across international trade, customs, economic sanctions, export controls, overseas regulations, government relations, and business strategy.
