Civil Disputes

Civil cases are decided less by the judgment itself than by the choices made before it. Which claims to raise, which evidence to secure first, when to file for provisional seizure or injunction — depending on these choices, the same facts can lead to entirely different outcomes. When Jeongpyeong takes on a case, we first lay out every argument the other side could possibly raise, then build our line of defense starting with the most damaging ones.

In cases where contract interpretation is at issue, we argue by weighing the contract language together with trade practice and the records exchanged during negotiations. In monetary disputes, we first check the likelihood of recovery and propose a strategy that accounts for enforcement from the outset. In damages cases, securing the basis for calculating the amount early on prevents losing time to a belated appraisal process.

Many cases are better resolved through pre-litigation negotiation. Apart from whether you can win, we work with you to calculate what would remain if the case went all the way to the end.
