Asia Business Law Journal’s Korea Law Firm Awards 2025 recognized LIN LLC as the winner in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Patent Litigation category, acknowledging the firm’s advanced legal expertise in  a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
 
LIN has been at the forefront of delivering proactive and innovative legal solutions to complex challenges in artificial intelligence—at the core of digital transformation—including data privacy, algorithmic ethics, and regulatory compliance for generative AI.
 
In particular, Sung Hoon Kim, CEO of AI specialist company Upstage, commented, “Tae Eon (Ted) Koo not only has a deep understanding of AI, but also develops highly persuasive legal strategies, leading the way in AI legal solutions.” He added that this award is a natural reflection of LIN’s expertise and innovative mindset.
 
In addition to its AI practice, LIN has successfully handled highly complex  patent litigation, a core pillar of intellectual property protection, grounded in its deep technological understanding. Notably, the firm is representing Autoliv, a Sweden-based global supplier of automotive safety systems, in a closely watched airbag patent dispute against Hyundai Mobis, a case expected to help reduce uncertainty within Korea’s automotive parts sector.
 
Building on this expertise, LIN LLC has recorded remarkable growth, expanding its revenue from KRW 1.1 billion in its founding year of 2017 to KRW 38 billion in 2024. More recently, the firm has accelerated efforts to strengthen its competitiveness through strategic expansion, including a merger with real estate boutique law firm DAEJI LAW and ongoing merger discussions with BARUN LAW.
 
This award reaffirms LIN’s position as a trusted partner that goes beyond traditional legal practice, protecting clients’ core assets and supporting successful business outcomes through sophisticated, technology-driven legal expertise.
