About

Ju Park is the Managing and Founding Partner of Parsus LLP. Ju is a corporate lawyer by training and an entrepreneur at heart. After attending the United States Military Academy at West Point for a year where she gained essential life skills including throwing grenades and applying a tourniquet, she graduated from McCombs Business School at the University of Texas majoring in finance. Ju then graduated from UCLA School of Law where she focused her studies on International Business Law. After law school, she practiced corporate law and litigation in the Los Angeles and Hong Kong offices of an international renowned law firm, Latham & Watkins, where she advised domestic and foreign clients, including Fortune 500 companies, on various corporate matters including general commercial contracts, corporate finance, IPOs and mergers and acquisitions. Ju co-founded Parsus in 2009 with a vision to transform the legal services industry to make quality legal advice more available to and affordable for businesses of all sizes while improving the lifestyle and overall happiness of lawyers. Over the years, and particularly since recently becoming a mother, Ju’s vision for Parsus has expanded to transform our extended community by committing a part of the firm’s profits and resources for charitable purposes. In her role at Parsus LLP, Ju serves as outside transactional and general counsel to clients of all sizes and across a broad range of industries. Her clients include domestic and foreign companies to whom she provides practical and cost-effective solutions to their general day-to-day business legal matters as well as major transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and cross-border transactions. Ju combines her legal expertise with her business acumen to provide practical solutions to her clients’ legal issues without “over-lawyering” their contracts or deals. Ju’s recent clients have included foreign and US companies acquiring and/or investing in US companies or assets, US companies receiving foreign and domestic investments, US subsidiaries of foreign companies going public, and foreign companies with ongoing US operations. Ju also enjoys working with like-minded entrepreneurs and start-up executives. Ju actively serves her community in various capacities. She is a regional governor of the International Association of Korean Lawyers, a member of National Association of Pacific American Bar Association, a Network of Korean American Leaders fellow, an alumnus of the Overseas Koreans Foundation’s Future Leaders Conference and the Southern California Leadership Network. Ju also served on the board of directors of Korean American Bar Association, Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking and Hollywood Least Wanted. Ju is a mother of twin toddlers who have further inspired and empowered her to make the world a better place for future generations. In her “spare” time, Ju manages and advises a real estate investment fund and management company that she co-founded in 2014. Ju is a lover of life and all outdoor activities including soccer, scuba diving, horseback-riding and golf. She maintains her sanity by meditating and keeping a healthy sense of humor.
