D&A LLC and Lin wrap up merger preparations ... “Final signing set for the 9th”

[Financial News] D&A LLC and Lin will hold a merger agreement signing ceremony at 2 p.m. next month on the 9th in the main conference room on the 20th floor of Donghun Tower in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul, and sign the merger agreement.
About six months have passed since the two firms signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the merger on the 29th of last April. During that time, they formed a merger committee and coordinated details needed for integration, including organizational, personnel and financial matters.
The combined firm will have 397 Korean lawyers, ranking sixth among large domestic law firms, based on figures as of the 31st of last month. The two firms’ combined revenue for 2025 amounts to 143.7 billion won, putting them around eighth in the industry.
D&L is emerging as the leading candidate for the combined firm’s new name. The two firms received around 2,000 entries in a naming contest held over four days last September and selected D&L, combining the “D” in D&A LLC’s English initials with the “L” in Lin, as the grand-prize winner. The final name is scheduled to be announced at the merger agreement signing ceremony next month on the 9th.
D&A LLC has built expertise in litigation and regulatory matters, including fair trade, serious accidents, labor and employment, tax and customs, and public strategy. Lin has developed expertise in corporate advisory work, including mergers and acquisitions (M&A), finance, artificial intelligence, platforms and technology (APT), and intellectual property (IP). Through the merger, the two firms plan to combine their respective strengths and enhance their ability to provide comprehensive legal services spanning litigation and advisory work.
