Technology is transforming the world.
Where “industry expertise” once defined a law firm’s competitiveness, we are now entering an era in which “technological expertise” is the true differentiator.
Jipyong is a law firm that understands technology at its core.
To strengthen its Technology Law Practice, Jipyong LLC and Jipyong IP have jointly established the Jipyong Technology Law Center.
The Jipyong Technology Law Center is a “technology law platform” that delivers integrated services combining technology, law, and business.
By breaking down the traditional boundaries between law firms and patent firms, as well as internal practice silos, Jipyong forms integrated teams of technical and legal professionals to provide solutions to complex technological challenges. Jipyong aims to become a pioneer in the field of technology law, which remains relatively unfamiliar in Korea. Under the guiding principle of “connecting technology and law,” the Jipyong Technology Law Center supports clients in leveraging innovation and change arising from the convergence of technology and business, enabling them to unlock new opportunities and elevate their businesses.
Jipyong brings together a strong bench of technical professionals, including attorneys and patent attorneys with backgrounds in science and engineering, as well as experience across various industries and research institutions.
These professionals aim to serve as a bridge connecting technology, law, and business. From startups to large enterprises, Jipyong provides specialized advisory and solutions for technology-driven companies and issues. Its services span the entire life cycle of technology-related matters, including company formation, R&D, fundraising, M&A, technology transactions, technology finance, antitrust and technology misappropriation, trade secrets, employee inventions, product liability, and defect litigation. Through the Jipyong Technology Law Center, Jipyong consolidates its technological expertise and, through seamless collaboration, aims to be a trusted partner at every intersection of technology, law, and business.
