Court Reporting & Depositions in South Korea
Wherever your deposition or arbitration is being held in South Korea, Planet Depos has qualified court reporters and videographers available to cover all of your proceeding needs.
Planet Depos often covers depositions outside the city of Seoul. Please contact us for assistance with hotels and conference rooms in the following cities in South Korea.
Seoul
The capital of South Korea is the most populated and modern city in the country. It’s also an ideal location to take depositions.
Suwon
Suwon is home to Samsung’s headquarters. Although it is a 40 – 60 minute taxi ride from Seoul, attorneys often elect to commute to maintain the luxury of staying in Seoul. However, for convenience, many attorneys stay in Suwon. Planet Depos has extensive experience in Suwon and is happy to offer suggestions related to hotels and deposition venues.
Planet Depos Travel Tip: Did you know Suwon is home to the world’s first Toilet Theme Park?
Pohang
Depositions are sometimes taken in the coastal cities, such as Pohang. This is not an ideal location as it requires additional travel, but it is possible to fly into the Pohang Airport rather than traveling via public transportation or car.
Planet Depos Travel Tip: If you plan to take depositions in Pohang, be sure you bring your bathing suit and take in one of the games of the Pohang Steelers, a South Korean professional football club located in the city.
