Professor Sanghan Wang of Sogang University Law School. Professor Sanghan Wang of Sogang University Law School, who served as Evaluation Committee Chairman for The Law Times 2026 Korea Law Firm Consumer Report, evaluated: "The Law Firm Consumer Report holds significance in that it is not about ranking law firms, but rather a document that presents objective evaluations from legal consumers and changing market trends." We interviewed Chairman Wang in writing on May 28. Q: The Law Firm Consumer Report has been published for the third time this year. A: I believe it is settling in as data that allows us to read the flows and changes in the legal market through evaluations by legal consumers. 신천지무료머니 The Law Firm Consumer Report is close to a market indicator showing how corporate clients evaluate legal services. In this survey as well, corporations still evaluated Legal Skills and Expertise as most important, but it is noteworthy that concerns over whether capability alone is sufficient were also revealed. Q: What changed most in this year's survey? A: It is meaningful that we reinforced mechanisms to enhance objectivity and credibility in evaluation. We refined participant verification procedures and evaluation criteria, and supplemented the survey structure so that evaluations could center on actual legal service usage experiences. Participation from small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) also increased significantly. 달팽이 레이싱 게임 The number of participating companies grew 3.4 times compared to last year and 11.7 times compared to 2024. As the evaluation participant base broadened, I believe we were able to reflect the actual experiences and demands of diverse corporations more faithfully. Q: What limitations and remaining challenges persist in the evaluation process? A: It is impossible to satisfy both those who evaluate and those being evaluated. All evaluations have limitations, and this evaluation is no different. The biggest challenge is that in presenting consumer evaluation results numerically, it may inadvertently appear as simply ranking law firms. 온라인릴게임 Thus, whenever we release results, we pay close attention to every single expression; however, that numerical results can be perceived as ranking is an inevitable limitation inherent to evaluation. Evaluation items must also be continuously supplemented. There is a need to refine the question structure, content, and phrasing more elaborately so corporate legal officers can evaluate accurately. This year, we included 'Cross-Border' in the capability evaluation items for the first time. It was an attempt made with global standards in mind, but we also confirmed that depending on practice areas or case characteristics, its meaning may not have been communicated with full clarity. I hope the Law Firm Consumer Report continues to be utilized as 'work-in-progress data' to grasp the rapidly changing perceptions of legal consumers and market trends. Cho-Han-Joo, Reporter Evaluatio
