Attorney Profile
Founder & Managing Attorney
Admitted to Practice Law in New York
Daehoon Park is a corporate and transactional lawyer admitted to practice in New York and the founder and managing attorney of DP Counsel PLLC. He advises companies, founders, executives, business owners, investors, and fund sponsors on corporate and transactional matters involving U.S. law, whether domestic or cross-border. His practice includes mergers and acquisitions, venture capital and other private financings, corporate structuring, ownership and governance arrangements, commercial contracts, and technology transactions.
His work often begins when a transaction structure is still evolving, critical assumptions have not yet been tested, or the legal and commercial consequences of competing paths need to be understood before capital is committed or binding documents are signed. He helps clients identify the decisions that materially affect control, economics, liability, regulatory exposure, future flexibility, and exit outcomes—and evaluate the tradeoffs before choosing a path.
Rather than analyzing documents or legal provisions in isolation, Daehoon examines how entity structure, ownership arrangements, financing terms, governance rights, contractual obligations, and regulatory requirements operate together. He then translates that analysis into practical transaction structures, clear negotiation positions, and coordinated, execution-ready documentation.
Clients engage Daehoon to evaluate proposed transactions, structure financings and investments, negotiate acquisitions and complex commercial contracts, and establish coherent legal frameworks for U.S. operations and cross-border growth. They work directly with him throughout the engagement, from the initial structuring decisions through negotiation, documentation, signing, and closing.

View Matter →Why Clients Engage the Firm
Deals are structured around clear risk allocation — indemnification, liability caps, escrows, and commercial allocation designed to protect the client while keeping the transaction moving.
Work product is built to close — redlines, clean execution drafts, disclosure schedules, issue lists, and closing checklists prepared for signature and delivery.
Legal advice is grounded in business context — issue identification paired with practical recommendations that weigh commercial impact, not just doctrinal risk.
U.S. transaction documents are aligned with foreign ownership structures, investor expectations, and local-counsel workstreams — with coordination of non-U.S. matters where appropriate.
For document-intensive matters, the Firm works from written intake and delivers written analysis — issue lists, risk summaries, and decision-item lists that create a clear record.
Cross-Border Capabilities
A particular focus of the practice is cross-border work — where U.S. entity structure, authority, investor documentation, commercial contracts, IP ownership and data obligations must be aligned with non-U.S. business structures and commercial practices. The Firm provides U.S. legal services and coordinates with qualified local counsel on non-U.S. matters where appropriate.
