Game is integrated media, inclusive of storytelling, music, CG, and computer programing. Therefore, the development of games requires the conclusion of contracts and negotiations with various stakeholders, including creators, publishers, developers and overseas companies, as international co-productions have been increasing in recent years. We advise on drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts based on the needs of both domestic and international clients, individuals and companies.

Game business is regulated by the Consumer Contract Act, the Personal Information Protection Act, the Funds Settlement Act, and the Act Against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations. In addition, online games need terms of use and privacy policies. We provide assistance in identifying legal risks, proposing measures to avoid such risks, handling disputes if such risks should materialize, and drafting various types of terms and conditions.

Gaming industry has been innovating by incorporating eSports tournaments, livestreaming, and VR game development including metaverse. In the rapidly changing game industry, it is important to pay attention not only to contracts, existing laws and regulations, but also to soft law, such as guidelines by game companies and platform terms and conditions, and related legal policies. We keep abreast of industry trends and the latest legal policies, and provide advice on the appropriate use of games.
