On June 1, 2014, the Pepeliaev Group launched what it describes as "a fully fledged service providing legal support for Korean investors in Russia."
According to the firm, the Pepeliaev Group’s lawyers and Korean specialists will provide advice and support on matters including potential geographical regions for investment, minimizing tax burdens, dealing with state authorities, and other matters.
The firm's Korean Desk will be led by Cheong Noh-Chung. Noh-Chung is an experienced Korean lawyer specializing in both Korean and Russian law who -- the firm claims -- was the first foreigner admitted to the Moscow City Bar in 2006. Until recently Noh-Chung was a partner in the Korean Shin & Kim law firm. He obtained a bachelor's degree of law in Seoul and an LLM in Moscow.
