The '2025 Korea Law Firm Consumer Report' asked corporate legal officers to select the 'Disappointing Law Firms' among all the firms they had experienced and to explain their reasons in their own words. This survey item, which allowed multiple responses, produced a total of 273 responses. The 'Disappointing Law Firm' votes were: KIM & CHANG 63, Lee & Ko 41, YULCHON 31, YOON & YANG 25, BAE, KIM & LEE 19, SHIN & KIM 18, JIPYONG 10, D&A and BARUN LAW 9 each, and YK LAWFIRM 7. As with the 'Best Law Firm' selection, the most frequently cited basis for choosing a 'Disappointing Law Firm' was 'legal skills and expertise.' More than half of the 273 total responses-150 (54.95%)-expressed dissatisfaction with 'expertise.' The criterion was the same in the 2024 evaluation, confirming that clients-whether naming a firm 'best' or 'disappointing'-treat a firm's 'legal skills and expertise' as the single most important basis for selection and assessment. 릴게임강시 Specific comments included: 'We doubted whether they truly had expertise in a particular area,' 'They showed weaknesses in expertise, or their work fell short from the client's perspective,' and 'Underwhelming performance relative to their reputation.' The next most-cited reason was 'reasonable fees' (46 responses, 16.85%). 'Reasonable fees' is a concept that encompasses so-called 'value for money'-satisfaction with results relative to the price paid-as well as reasonable fee-setting. 골드몽릴게임 Corporate clients generally select firms by prioritizing skills and expertise over fees, but they proved sensitive to 'appropriate fees' as well. In the 2024 evaluation, too, reasonable fees was the second-most important reason clients chose a firm as 'disappointing.' Narrative comments included: 'excessive billing relative to the service,' 'given the high cost, we were left wanting in response speed and review quality,' and 'poor cost-effectiveness.' The third reason clients gave for naming a firm disappointing was communication skills. Communication skills refer to grasping the client's needs and providing quick feedback. 알라딘주소 In-house counsel who cited communication skills said: 'They tend to insist on the partners' own views rather than offering opinions tailored to the client's needs,' 'Slow to respond on key issues,' 'There was not enough communication with the client,' and 'They change the substance of their legal advice according to particular interests and even advance reasoning that makes no sense.' A firm with a larger number of lawyers is more likely to receive many votes as both a 'Best Law Firm' and a 'Disappointing Law Firm.' It is therefore difficult to declare a 'Best' or 'Worst' based on vote counts alone. We conducted a relative assessment comparing 'Best Law Firm' votes with 'Disappointing Law Firm' votes; on this basis, BAE, KIM & LEE came out best. The number of responses naming BAE, KIM & LEE a 'Best Law Firm' was 369, versus 19 naming it 'Disappointing'-a ratio of 19.4 to 1. Next came YULCHON (12.4:1), SHIN & KIM (8:1), and KIM & CHANG (4.4:1). Han Soo-hyun, Reporter cost, we
