Jeong-Hoon Lee
Partner | Construction & Real Estate
Jeong-Hoon Lee is a partner attorney at JKLA (Baekkyung) with substantial practical experience and expertise across the full spectrum of construction and real estate matters. He has advised on complex projects involving redevelopment, reconstruction, regional housing cooperatives, and real-estate development, providing end-to-end support from initial structuring and risk prevention through dispute response and litigation. His experience in construction-related litigation—particularly large construction-payment claims, defect-liability matters, and subcontract disputes—is a particular strength.
Beyond dispute resolution, he focuses on identifying and minimizing overall project risk in advance. He is trusted for proposing practical solutions that take balanced account of the positions of developers, contractors, cooperatives, investors, and other stakeholders, and for explaining complex legal issues clearly and systematically.
With the goal of securing the legal stability that often determines a project’s success or failure, he supports clients as a legal partner from inception to completion.
