YOON&YANG

Daeyeon Kim, a partner of Yoon & Yang LLC was recently recognized by Asian Legal Business (“ALB”) in its annual “40 Under 40” list as one of 40 outstanding legal professionals in Asia this year under the age of 40.

ALB, a leading Asian legal publication affiliated with Thomson Reuters, annually announces a list of “40 Under 40.” The list recognizes 40 exceptional young talents across Asia among over 400 outstanding nominees who have undertaken some of the most significant deals and cases in the past year and gained recognition from their colleagues, clients, and peers.

This year in particular, only two lawyers from Korean law firms, including Mr. Daeyeon Kim, were selected among the 40 outstanding lawyers, making this recognition especially significant. Following last year’s recognition of Ms. Minhwa Kang, this marks the third consecutive year Yoon & Yang has placed a lawyer on this distinguished list.
