Hyunhee (Rachel) Park
First-year transactional associate Rachel Park joined Clifford Chance in New York after beginning her career at Samsung in her native South Korea. She shares lessons from her corporate experience and how they have transferred to her legal practice in substance and in spirit.
Working in a marketing role for a multinational company before law school was a great decision. I spent five years at Samsung Electronics in South Korea and came away with a real head start in transitioning to the law. I got to see how a company is run from the inside, and I learned what it means to provide service. And because of the nature of Samsung’s business, I was exposed to strategic sectors, such as tech and consumer, which law firms are targeting in their own businesses.
