- Provide clear and pragmatic guidance on Korean advertising regulations, including consumer protection, fair labeling, promotions, and industry standards, and translate regulatory requirements into actionable business recommendations.
- Advise on usage rights, restrictions, and approvals related to Netflix’s intellectual property portfolio, including trademarks, logos, content clips, talent likeness, and brand assets, in connection with commercial and marketing activities.
- Collaborate closely with global and regional legal teams to align local transactions with Netflix’s broader business objectives, templates, and policies, while appropriately localizing legal approaches for the Korean market.
