Kim Hyun-jung

Property disputes, with the legal and tax issues considered together.

Registered with the Korean Bar Association in the specialist fields of real estate and criminal law. Her legal, tax and patent qualifications, together with estate administration and guardianship experience, inform her work on property, inheritance and asset division.

Dividing assets following a death or divorce involves more than deciding who receives a share. Property rights, the history of the assets, taxation and their administration can all matter.
