While the law adapts to social change, Yulchon’s contributions help lead social change
Since Yulchon’s establishment, the firm has been strongly committed to making social contributions a significant part of the life
of our professionals. Yulchon’s founders set the standard by pledging to contribute 20 percent of their resources to the public
interest. They committed their “resources” rather than just their income to ensure that they would contribute part of all they had,
including their time, their passion and their energy. This high standard continues to infuse the life of the firm today.
Yulchon’s social contributions are unique not only in their intensity of commitment but also in their broad scope. Yulchon not only
strongly encourages pro bono activities among the firm’s professionals to assist those without sufficient resources but also takes
other measures to promote a better legal culture and to contribute legal knowledge to the broader society. Our professionals also
undertake other voluntary charitable activities that are unrelated to the law. To support these efforts, the firm credits the time
spent on them by our professionals as part of their regular work hours.
