Me in a minute

I have accumulated extensive experiences in various aspects of international tax areas

I specialize in international tax areas, including tax structuring, tax compliance and management of tax disputes for international clients.

I graduated from a U.S. law school and worked with a leading Korean law firm primarily for multinational companies. From this background, I obtained capabilities of understanding, communicating and working in the cross-border context.  

What I like about my work is that I can talk with people from various background and jurisdictions, and help clients understand and solve difficult aspects and challenges of expanding their businesses globally, especially its tax implications. 

Recently, I worked with a consortium of leading Korean brokerage houses – the project which involves consulting those brokers with complying with the recent changes to the U.S. tax law and regulations that impose significant tax reporting obligations on foreign financial institutions providing brokerage services to non-U.S. investors in certain types of U.S. securities. This project was particularly interesting for me since it gives me a chance to deal with how a jurisdiction would protect their taxing rights on gains and income derived by foreign investors making their investment via multiple layers of intermediaries in the context of international taxation.

Out of work, I love listening to music. I hope someday I can work on international tax matters involving music industry.
