The Korea e-Sports Association (KeSPA) said on the 7th that it signed an official partnership on the 5th with Law Firm Beopjeong for legal services for the national esports team.
The association plans to work with Law Firm Beopjeong, which has specialized advisory experience in sports and entertainment, to review key legal documents such as national team-related contracts, MOUs, and consent forms and to develop standard templates. It also plans to strengthen a rational and efficient decision-making system through legal counsel covering the national team program as a whole.
With this agreement, the association will push to systematize legal and administrative operations and plans to enhance the transparency and credibility of national team programs, including the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. In addition, it will strengthen legal risk management so that cooperation among stakeholders, including the squad, partner companies, the government, and local governments, can proceed stably.
Kim Young-man, president of the Korea e-Sports Association (KeSPA), said, "This partnership is an opportunity to add legal stability across the association's national team operating system," and added, "We will strengthen scientific, legal, and administrative support so the squad can focus on training and competition in a stable environment."
Han Jeong-mu, managing partner at Beopjeong, said, "We will support the association's national team operating system so it can be established on clear legal standards," and noted, "We will work to ensure the association's key programs can be carried out stably through legal counsel that meets international standards."
