Kyunghee helps clients with labor and employment matters, including litigation, compliance, and workplace challenges.
Kyunghee had been interested in law from a young age, drawn to a career that felt meaningful and intellectually challenging, one where she could help people and advocate for others. Before law school, she worked in sales management and later in business and product management, roles that taught her the importance of understanding a client’s perspective and focusing on practical solutions.
Drawn to Labor & Employment for its real-world, people-centered nature, Kyunghee wanted to work on issues that directly affect people’s careers and workplaces. During law school, she wrote for the Emory Law Journal on animal law and USDA regulation and took part in the Emory Trial Technique Program, where she enjoyed approaching legal problems from both an analytical and advocacy perspective. That combination of direct human impact and rigorous analysis shaped her interest in the practice area.
As a summer associate at Husch Blackwell, Kyunghee worked on a variety of matters rather than being limited to one type of assignment, observing depositions and trials, conducting legal research, and drafting memoranda. Working with attorneys across several departments gave her a broader view of how teams at a large firm collaborate on client matters.
Known for building genuine relationships while maintaining professionalism, Kyunghee wants clients to feel comfortable raising questions and confident their matters will be handled thoughtfully. She pairs that approachability with strong research and writing skills, aiming to make difficult legal issues feel more manageable for the people relying on her.
