HMP Law, a major law firm in Korea, said Wednesday that the International Bar Association's (IBA) annual conference in Seoul is a great opportunity to strengthen global networks and it will make the most of it.

About 20 lawyers, including Park Sang-il (IBA's Host Committee member) and Lim Hye-yeon (IBA's Organizing Committee member), will represent the law firm at the world's largest and most prestigious international meeting of legal professionals.

During the event (Sept. 23-27), HMP lawyers will use Suji's Deli as their temporary PR booth and be there from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily to welcome visitors.

“HMP Law has built its reputation as one of the most trusted Korean law firms in the field of international businesses,” Park Kyun-je, a partner at HMP Law, said. “I hope the law firm will strengthen its global competitiveness through this conference.”

Hwang Ju-myung, a former judge, established HMP Law in 1993 with 10 other lawyers. It has since grown into one the country's largest law firms.
