The starting five and their homepages

The five firms in the supplied seed document, ordered by ALB’s 2025 lawyer-headcount ranking. This order measures size.

The expanded database

ALB publishes a South Korea top 10; Hankyung publishes an overall top 20. A dash means absent from that selected list or unavailable.

ALB counts Asia-based lawyers, not exclusively lawyers admitted in Korea. Published totals are retained even where partner/associate subtotals do not reconcile. Rankings and figures are dated source observations, not a September 2026 census.

Minju and KnC websites are third-party-listed links that could not be opened. Some other sites expose limited text. Barun and Dongin remain separate records: a September 2026 merger proposal is reported on Dongin’s website, but completion was not established.

Research entry points from the seed document

Original URLs retained. These links have not all been individually opened, and no person-level biographies have been collected.

Sources and verification

All sources were consulted on 16 September 2026. The database retains source-specific dates, access limitations and provenance. Founding year, address and phone metadata are supplied for the starting five; dated revenue is available in the metrics table.
