분야소개

Traditionally, the broadcasting and communications industry was cultivated under strict governmental regulation in the market that is locally formed with limited competition. In the 2000s, however, the broadcasting and communications industry has met a rapid change in regulatory environment as it has combined with information technology, which has achieved a remarkable development, and the scope of the market has extended to the global market.

Barun Law LLC promptly identified the changes in regulatory environment and formed the Technology, Media and Telecom Team (“TMT”) in the mid-2000s. TMT takes the lead in providing legal services meeting the needs of clients in the broadcasting and communications industry, making efforts to provide the best solutions and insights for clients.

TMT dedicates itself to developing the optimal strategies and solutions for clients and provides a so-called “one-stop service” through which a client can handle all the matters arising in relation to broadcasting and communications issues from regulatory issues to advice on transactions, responses to regulatory authorities and litigation.

In particular, we help clients promptly prepare themselves for the convergence of broadcasting, telecommunication and technology in the 4th industrial revolution age by enhancing our expertise and capabilities in the data industry (e.g., personal data protection and big data) and the new media industry (especially, OTT or application/contents services).

Our attorneys serve as advisor for the Korea Communications Commission and as member of its sub-committees and actively contribute their insights to the development of govern policies.
