Like other civil disputes, in many trusts and estates-related disputes, client confidentiality is of paramount importance.  That is because such disputes often involve other critical issues such as criminal, tax, injunctive relief, divestitures, and mergers.  Furthermore, in many cases, laws other than Korean laws may need to be reviewed, depending on the nationality or residence of the parties.
