Global Recognition of Dedication, Excellence, and Client-Centered Defense – Criminal Law Firm of the Year
We are pleased to announce that Pureum Law Office (PLO) has been named South Korea’s Criminal Law Firm of the Year for 2025 by Global Law Experts (GLE). This prestigious recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to justice, our strong advocacy for clients, and the trust we’ve earned across complex criminal cases.
Why were we chosen as Criminal Law Firm of the Year?
Global Law Experts is one of the world’s leading legal referral platforms, recognizing top-performing firms based on client success, peer nominations, and professional impact. Being selected as the 2025 Criminal Law Firm of the Year is not just a title—it’s a testament to the passion and professionalism that drive our work every day.
In 2024 alone, our firm navigated a series of complex and high-profile criminal cases, consistently securing favorable outcomes for our clients. One case in particular stood out: we represented a Swiss national who had fallen victim to a romance scam orchestrated from Korea. Thanks to swift legal action, strategic coordination with local authorities, and our client’s courageous cooperation, we helped expose the perpetrator and recover a substantial portion of the losses. This case drew national attention and was even featured in The Chosun Ilbo, highlighting the power of cross-border justice.
Our Continuing Commitment to You
Being named the 2025 Criminal Law Firm of the Year strengthens our resolve to serve with integrity, empathy, and legal precision. Whether we’re handling fraud, assault, cybercrime, or other serious charges, we believe that every client deserves a powerful defense and clear guidance in moments of crisis.
