APAC Insider- Q4 2025 | 10 Blending an international reach with practical solutions, RosettaLegal is a boutique law firm based in Seoul, South Korea. Named after the Rosetta Stone, the discovery of which helped historians to deepen their understanding of Ancient Egypt, it is the firm’s aim to do the same for law – especially concerning cross-border disputes, insurance, and commercial litigation. With RosettaLegal being recognised with this award, we spoke with its own Jeong Min Lee for more on what sets it apart. In the same way that the Rosetta Stone has proven key in deciphering Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, RosettaLegal wants its legal services to be the key to its clients overcoming their issues and disputes, supporting them in creating tailored strategies and solutions that make sense for their businesses. Bearing the weight of this task is the small team behind the firm, whose combination of global experience and industry-specific insight allows them to guide clients through challenges and disputes with both precision and pragmatism. “We serve as trusted advisors and advocates for clients facing high-stakes, crossborder conflicts, whilst also providing support in contract drafting, negotiations, etc.”, explained Jeong Min Lee, who has been a senior associate at the firm since 2018. “Our clients range from insurance companies and reinsurers through to established corporations navigating complex, multi-jurisdictional legal challenges.” The diversity inherent in this client base is mirrored in the firm itself, which leverages legal knowledge from many practice areas. This broad, encompassing knowledge is then channelled into three primary specialisations to ensure the best outcomes for clients: dispute resolution, cross-border matters, and insurance. Beginning with dispute resolution, RosettaLegal aims to help its clients resolve their conflicts as quickly as possible, saving them money and headaches. Whether through its international arbitration and litigation services, its domestic litigation, or its mediation options, clients can feel confident knowing that RosettaLegal will find the best solution. Only recently, RosettaLegal has handled a number of domestic and international arbitration cases across the multifaceted industry landscape, with these spanning international trade, distributorship, insurance, telecommunication, construction, engineering, and shipbuilding. What is particularly impressive about all this is that this counsel has been provided under a number of different arbitration rules, including those set by boards and bodies including the KCAB, ICC, ICDR, SRIA, and UNCITRAL, to name just a few. Similarly, when it comes to a variety of cross-border legal matters, this boutique law firm for global clients instils trust as a result of its seamless legal and translation services, which cover everything from deciphering foreign-language documents to establishing companies. Young Seok Lee, who is the founding partner of the firm, is particularly revered in cross-border law, given he has served on the likes of the Hong Kong courts and the London Maritime Arbitrators Association within the last few years, honing his expertise. The third and final area of expertise for RosettaLegal, and the one we have chosen to recognise with this award, is insurance. The firm particularly excels in coverage and liability issues, especially when it comes to reinsurance, directors and officers liability insurance, construction all risk insurance, erection all risks insurance, and product liability insurance. The team have provided advisory and defence work to several landmark cases in this area, primarily concerning fires/explosions in local factories and warehouses. Across these services, the most rewarding aspect for the team is being able to help clients navigate their crises with poise and transparency. Be it analysing the facts, assessing cases, or resolving a dispute that could have impacted a business greatly, seeing the tangible impact this legal counsel has on people’s lives is always satisfying. Jeong Min added: “We are particularly proud of our track record in complex domestic and international disputes, where we have often been able to secure favourable outcomes against the odds.” Regardless of whether it is playing the underdog or the odds-on favourite, RosettaLegal’s ability to blend an international outlook with dispute resolution expertise and preventitive legal strategies makes it the go-to firm for international arbitration, litigation, and insurance services – every time. Its team being both long-term advisors and problem solvers has helped it build trustbased relationships with clients, something that has strengthened the crossborder work which remains a cornerstone of its service suite to this day. Ultimately, RosettaLegal’s proficiency and the positive impact it has across multiple areas of law makes it one of South Korea’s leading law firms. Its by-the-book nature makes its desired association with the Rosetta Stone valid, and it is certainly paving the way for continued legal excellence within national and international business environments alike.
