Law firm YK said on the 26th that it posted 169.4 billion won in revenue last year. It assessed that it continued performance growth as it shifted its center of gravity from a B2C focus to a B2B focus on corporations.
On this day, YK announced last year's revenue based on National Tax Service value-added taxes filing amounts, and said it was about 9.5% higher year over year compared with 154.7 billion won in 2024. It added that it maintained an expansionary trajectory without contraction even amid a downturn.
Chief attorney Kang Kyung-hun called last year "the first year in which we achieved structural reform as a B2B law firm." Kang said the firm will expand its corporations business around specialized areas such as fair trade and serious accidents this year.
As a litigation achievement, the Fair Trade Group presented the "Pizza Hut Korea differential franchise fee refund lawsuit." YK said that, representing 94 franchisees, it argued that the differential franchise fee constituted unjust enrichment and secured a final Supreme Court ruling ordering a refund of about 21.5 billion won.
YK said that in labor and serious-accident areas it handled numerous wrongful dismissal and wage cases and matters related to the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, and that it formed a "labor ESG/ESH task force (TF)" to meet advisory demand from corporations. In criminal matters, it said it contributed to risk management in corporations cases by strengthening early investigation response systems around the Criminal General Group led by former High Prosecutors' Office Chief Bae Sung-beom.
