왜 Steven D. Kim 변호사를 선택해야 할까요?

많은 지식재산(IP) 변호사들은 법률에 대한 전문성을 갖추고 있습니다. 그러나 브랜드가 어떻게 기획되고, 개발되며, 시장에서 성장하는지를 깊이 이해하는 변호사는 많지 않습니다. Steven D. Kim 변호사는 변호사가 되기 전에 산업디자인 (Industrial Design) 을 전공하며 제품 개발, 브랜드 전략, 사용자 경험 (UX), 그리고 혁신적인 제품 기획에 대한 실무적 관점을 쌓았습니다. 이처럼 디자인와 법률를 아우르는 융합적 전문성을 바탕으로, 단순히 상표와 저작권을 등록하거나 지식재산을 보호하는 데 그치지 않고, 고객의 브랜드 가치를 높이고 지속 가능한 성장을 지원하는 전략적인 법률 자문을 제공합니다. 첫 창업을 준비하는 스타트업부터 글로벌 시장으로 사업을 확장하는 기업에 이르기까지, 고객의 비즈니스 목표에 부합하는 실질적이고 전략적인 솔루션을 함께합니다. 상표 · 지식재산 · 기업계약 전문 변호사브랜드 전략 및 제품개발 자문.
