About

Jaewon Lee, Attorney-at-law

Jaewon Lee, Attorney-at-law
  • I have always valued the criteria by which I choose cases.
  • I have observed that recurring problems involving expats, foreign nationals, migrants, and children are often structural as well as individual mistakes.
  • I have chosen to go beyond consultation and dealing with the case itself, working toward understanding and improving systems so that the same problems do not recur.
  • I believe the role of a lawyer is not to escalate disputes, but to help establish standards that prevent them from arising and to solve problems.

My Philosophy and Choices

  • I provide legal services by treating my clients not merely as parties to a case, but as individuals whose lives deserve respect and dignity.
  • I have consistently chosen public roles in areas where legal protection is most critical—expats, foreign nationals, migrants, and children—to understand how systems actually function and identify necessary improvements.
  • As a mother of three, I serve on the School Violence Review Committee to understand how children can be protected through institutional systems rather than personal emotions alone.
  • Watching the same contract disputes repeat among foreign nationals, I chose not to stop at consultations — I co-founded Le Nid, a Seoul-based agency helping foreign models, performers, and creators build their careers in Korea safely and transparently, and I now serve as an advisor to the agency.
  • I firmly believe that the role of a lawyer extends beyond resolving individual disputes to designing systems and providing guidance that prevents such problems from recurring.
