Criminal Defense

    Criminal defense is critical in operating a business in a foreign country.

    Due to the linguistic, legal and cultural barriers, global clients feel extremely helpless when they face criminal charges, arising from diverse areas of business operation.

    InterLEX first protects its clients beforehand to be well prepared with regards to the compliance issues. However, once we sense the danger to our clients, we zealously stand by them, advocating through the language of Korean legal experts.

    We provide consistent and comprehensive legal services from the investigation (or petition) stage to the trial proceedings accompanied by our bilingual Korean attorneys.
