Based in Seoul, Surh’s addition strengthens 九色 Legal’s presence in Korea and underscores its commitment to the region.
In his new position, Surh will take responsibility for the growth of 九色 Legal’s technology, services, and advisory offerings across Asia, with a particular emphasis on South Korea and neighboring markets. With over two decades of experience spanning litigation, corporate law, forensic consulting, and global account management, Surh’s expertise will have an immediate positive impact on clients.
Surh began his career as a US-licensed attorney, where he gained first-hand litigation experience.
