Kwangjang Named to ALB Asia Top ESG Law Firms 2026
Third-Time Recipient of the Award
Kwangjang, a Korean law firm, announced on May 18, 2026 that it has been selected as one of the “ALB Asia Top ESG Law Firms 2026” by Asian Legal Business (ALB), a global legal media outlet. This marks the third time Kwangjang has made the list, following recognitions in 2023 and 2024.
ALB annually selects top law firms in the ESG sector among major law firms and lawyers in the Asia-Pacific region. Kwangjang’s inclusion this year is attributed to its “ESG Group,” which integrates key ESG-related teams such as environment, industrial safety, compliance, corporate advisory, and labor, and provides a comprehensive one-stop advisory service.
The Kwangjang ESG Group goes beyond simple legal consulting by taking the lead in policy design and developing practical reduction strategies. For example, the firm supported the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment in designing and piloting the “Korean Green Chemistry System,” contributing to establishing a sustainability assessment framework for chemical substances.
Kwangjang also offers services in areas such as ESG financial advisory including green bond issuances, supply chain and human rights due diligence projects, and responses to greenwashing investigations, thereby supporting companies in sustainable management and enhancing their global competitiveness.
