Services and fees

Your Korean counterparty stopped answering. The clock is running. Pick the service that matches your urgency.

Most advisors want a retainer before they look at your file. I work differently. You choose a fixed piece of work, you know the price up front, and the scope is locked in writing before a single euro changes hands.

Urgent Case Call

USD 350

Your deadline is days away. You need a clear answer, now. One 50-minute private call.

  • Pre-call intake form.
  • Review of up to five key documents.
  • 50-minute video call.

Korea Distribution Retainer

USD 900 per month, 6-month minimum

For exporters with an active Korean importer or distributor.

Start a Confidential Case Assessment

Every engagement starts with a confidential suitability and conflict check. If your case is accepted, you receive the proposed scope, the fee, the terms, and available consultation times by private reply. Nothing begins until you say yes.

If after the conflict check your case is not a fit, or you decide not to proceed, you pay nothing. The first paid step only starts after you have reviewed and approved the scope in writing.

Final scope and fees depend on urgency, documentation volume, number of parties, financial exposure, language requirements, and whether external professional support is needed. No outcome is guaranteed.
