Oppenheim and Jipyong Launch Korean Desk in Hungary

Oppenheim, a law firm in Hungary, and Jipyong, a South Korean law firm, have formed a strategic partnership to establish a Korean desk in Hungary. This initiative is driven by Korea's position as Hungary's third-largest investor and government-led opportunities in manufacturing and trade. With a focus on sectors such as energy, EV batteries, and technology, the firms aim to bridge cultural and regulatory gaps, providing tailored legal advice to Korean businesses entering the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) market. The partnership leverages the existing synergies between the two firms, built on years of cooperation, and aims to become a leading advisory center for Korean companies in Hungary and potentially beyond. Both firms emphasize the importance of understanding cultural nuances and offering client-oriented services to facilitate smooth operations for Korean investors in the region. In the short term, Oppenheim and Jipyong plan to increase visibility among Korean businesses through outreach initiatives, while also looking towards long-term regional engagement.
