Park, who previously headed the firm’s South Korea region, will fill a vacancy left by the outgoing chair, Xuefeng Peng, who previously led a Beijing-based firm that merged with Dentons back in 2015 – a combination that ended only just recently.

This includes presiding over the firm’s global governing boards’ meetings. A paramount part of his role also involves ensuring all bodies under the firm comply with their responsibilities, laws, and regulations, as laid out by Dentons.
