For startups and entrepreneurs, particularly those grappling with financial constraints, obtaining legal consultation from a law firm can be a daunting task. Traditional law firms are reluctant to offer comprehensive services tailored to startups as such services often may not yield significant returns.This situation poses a significant obstacle for small yet competitive businesses aspiring to expand globally, compelling them to address legal challenges first, even before earnestly venturing into international endeavors.In stark contrast to the traditional model, where law firms primarily engage with major corporations or governments, Seoul-based law firm Mission focuses on the creative minds of small startups and endeavors to expand its business reach beyond the domestic market.“Mission hopes to be a true neighbor of startups who want to change the world with innovative ideas,” Seonghoon Kim, the CEO of law firm Mission said in an interview with The Miilk, adding “We’ll try to pave the way for doing cross-border businesses, minimizing delays in the process.”On the surface, it may appear to be a typical law firm, but Mission operates like a startup on the inside. It proactively seeks solutions to problems faced by its startup clients, even if they haven't encountered those problems before. Due to its rather non-traditional business model that prioritizes providing legal services for startups over immediate profits in its initial business stage, it has been labeled as a sort of ‘maverick’ in the startup community in South Korea.
