Dentons Lee, Dentons’ South Korea member firm, has boosted its labour and employment offerings by hiring former Bae, Kim & Lee partner Eunjee Kim as a senior attorney.

Kim has experience in preventing and resolving legal issues that may arise from labour relations with individual employees and collective legal relations with labour unions. She advises domestic and international companies, and her proficiency extends beyond traditional legal counsel to encompass corporate law, Dentons Lee said.

Kim’s clientele spans multinational corporations, international law firms seeking Korean employment law advice, and domestic companies in need of comprehensive legal counsel.

Prior to joining Dentons Lee, Kim worked as a partner for two years in the employment and labour group at Seoul-headquartered Bae, Kim & Lee. Before that, she held senior in-house roles at U.S. food manufacturing giant Kellogg, French premium spirits company Pernod Ricard, consultancy Bain & Company, and South Korean conglomerate E-Land Group.

Kim’s "extensive expertise in employment and labour law, along with her invaluable experience as General Counsel for the Korean business units of various multinational companies, will greatly enhance our capacity to provide strategic, insightful, and effective solutions to our clients worldwide,” said Purvis Ghani, global chair of the Dentons’ Employment & Labor Group, in a statement.

With Kim’s addition, Dentons Lee now has 58 lawyers, inncluding 28 senior attorneys. They include healthcare veteran Bernard Ham, who was hired in March to head the firm’s Life Sciences and Healthcare practice.
