South Korean law firms D&A (formerly DR & AJU) and LIN are currently in talks on a potential merger.
“Discussions regarding a potential merger are currently underway; however, nothing has been finalised at this stage,” Kyu Chul Lee, senior managing partner at D&A, told Asia Business Law Journal.
Jin Seok Lim, senior managing partner at LIN, echoed Lee’s sentiments.
The potential merger between the two firms would create South Korea’s eighth-largest law firm by revenue. In 2025, D&A reported annual revenue of KRW102.7 billion (USD67.5 million), while LIN recorded KRW41 billion (USD27 million).
According to the Korean Bar Association website, the combined firm would have a total of 297 Korean-licensed attorneys.
Both Lee and Lim declined to provide further specifics, citing the sensitive and ongoing nature of the discussions.
