2. Corporate Identity

The overall shape of the logo is symbolized by a fish which generates essential value to the corporations. At the same time, the logo has the image of the shield meaning protection of various interests of the corporations. The harmonious presentation of the black-colored ‘K’ and the red-colored ‘I’ symbolizes eyes of a guardian as the last bastion of compliance. By linking K with C which denotes corporate, the logo expresses KICA’s role a bridge between the law and corporate policy.

3. Vision

Growth PeopleWorking Together

One Organization

‘People’ is everything to KICA. KICA exists for the protection of fair interests of our members.We strive to help our members pursue development with dignity and compliance, thereby

contributing to the growth of our members and their companies, the nation and the society as a whole.

KICA was organized in 2009 with its beginning back to 2006 when in-house

counsels working in Yeouido region started a lunch time gathering. After merging with the in-house counsel

gatherings in Gangnam and Gangbuk regions in 2011, it has proven itself as the representative of Korean in-house counsels with its members amounting

to 2,000 counsels.

Our most valuable asset is our members. With this in mind, we have spared no effort to advance the status of in-house counsels so that their role and value are highly recognized in their organizations.

Though our members have different corporate backgrounds, we have provided various academic seminars and cultural events where members can enhance professionalism and network by sharing values, vision, and human resources.

KICA is an organic body which organizes itself through member participation. We as one organization contribute to the development of member companies, the nation, and the society through compliance enhancing support and community services.

“An association of in-house counsels, by in-house counsels, for in-house counsels”
