Yulchon LLC announced that attorney Oh Jeong-han has been named one of the "Asia Top 30 Litigators 2026" by ALB (Asia Legal Business), a legal publication under Thomson Reuters, on July 6.
Each year, ALB selects 30 outstanding litigators active in Asia based on their performance, expertise, and client interviews.
Oh began his legal career as a judge at the Uijeongbu District Court in 2004 and joined Yulchon in 2006. He has since gained extensive experience in various litigation areas, including construction disputes, automotive class actions, and startup-related litigation.
Notably, he successfully represented GS Engineering & Construction and Samsung C&T in a lawsuit against the Korea National Railway Corporation regarding additional construction costs for the Suseo-Pyeongtaek high-speed railway, winning the case in full. He also achieved complete victories in a damages lawsuit filed by consumers against Hyundai Motor Company for fuel economy exaggeration and secured a non-prosecution decision in a tax law violation case involving Jarvis & Villains, which operates the tax refund service 'Samjeom Sam.'
Based on these achievements, Oh has been recognized as a Leading Lawyer in Dispute Resolution by Chambers AP for three consecutive years and has been named a Litigation Star by Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific for five consecutive years, affirming his expertise in litigation both domestically and internationally.
Oh stated, "This award represents the valuable achievements made through the close collaboration of all members of the Yulchon Litigation Group. I will continue to strive to provide optimal solutions for our clients based on professionalism and teamwork," he remarked on July 6.
Previously, attorney Lee Jae-geun (28th Judicial Research and Training Institute) was selected for ALB's "Asia Top 30 Litigators" in both 2024 and 2025, and this year, Oh has taken over that honor.
Yulchon noted, "The Litigation Group, led by co-representative Oh Jeong-han, provides optimal legal services for complex disputes through close collaboration among experts in various fields, including financial litigation, management disputes, administrative litigation, family law, and international arbitration."
