Real estate-related litigation can encounter various issues during the trial process, making it an area that requires careful procedural handling and legal services aimed at preventing disputes in advance.

Gangnam Law Firm (Chief Attorney Gu Bonmin) provides customized legal services to clients not only in traditional civil and criminal disputes related to real estate development but also across all related fields including various administrative procedures related to real estate development, PF development project progress, and taxation.

In particular, in the redevelopment and reconstruction sector of real estate, a team of 17 specialized lawyers is actively conducting activities based on the diverse experience accumulated over time.

The Real Estate Team is broadly divided into real estate development and construction sectors, handling advisory and litigation services. Regarding their main tasks in real estate development, they perform ▲advisory on procedures related to domestic and international real estate development projects, negotiations, and contract execution ▲legal advice on overseas real estate acquisition and development ▲consultation on domestic and international real estate trusts and real estate funds ▲representation in exercising rights such as claims related to development projects ▲advisory on fair trade issues such as unfair subcontracting transactions.

In the construction sector, they handle ▲advisory and dispute resolution related to industrial complex and housing site development ▲litigation related to sales contracts ▲litigation concerning environmental infringements such as view rights and sunlight rights.

Attorney Noh Younghee (Class 36), well known to the public through various TV and radio appearances, is also active in Gangnam's Real Estate Team and Family Law Team.
