Five minutes on foot from Dongbaek Station, within reach of both the main court and its Eastern Branch.

Why this location
Close to the main courts
A civil case is a contest of hearing dates and deadlines. The first thing we weighed when choosing the office was the distance to the courts.
An application for provisional attachment is often heard the day it is filed, and answers and briefs have to be lodged days before a hearing for the bench to read them. With the court and the registry within reach, those days are won.

* Straight-line distances. Travel times on the day of a hearing vary with traffic on Haeundae-ro.
Jurisdiction
The bench and the appeal court depend on the amount in dispute
Even for a case filed from the same Haeundae office, the amount claimed decides which bench hears it and which court hears the appeal. Knowing that before the complaint is filed settles the length of the briefs, the plan of evidence and the likely timeline at the same time.
Amount in dispute
Up to KRW 30 million
Small claims
Some end in a recommendation to perform without a judgment; check the objection period as soon as the decision arrives.
Amount in dispute
Over KRW 30 million, up to KRW 500 million
Single judge
Heard by one judge. Appeals go to the appellate panel of the District Court's main seat.
Amount in dispute
Over KRW 500 million
Three-judge panel
Heard by three judges. Appeals go to the Busan High Court.
Which court a suit is filed in (territorial jurisdiction) depends on the defendant's address, the place of performance, the place of the wrongful act and similar factors, and can also be agreed. The thresholds above concern subject-matter jurisdiction; the actual court has to be confirmed for each case.
Received a hearing date or a complaint? Check the deadline first
Thirty days from service of a complaint, two weeks from receipt of a judgment: the deadlines of civil procedure do not wait. If you cannot come to the office, a consultation can be held by phone or by video.
