Joo Hee Kong
About Joo
Attorney
Born and raised in South Korea, Joo Hee practiced law as an in-house counsel in Seoul, South Korea, after completing her programs at the Judicial Research & Training Institute. Moving to Syracuse, New York, Joo Hee spent several years supporting her family’s adaptation and received an LLM degree at Syracuse University College of Law. During the one-year program, she began to consider working at Syracuse and spent two additional years at the law school, graduating from the JD program with a grade in the top 6% of the Class of 2021. Despite being an international student, Joo Hee was accepted as a member of the Justinian Honor Society and was recognized as a talented scholar with the Order of the Coif (an American honor society for law school graduates).
She also interned at the National Disability Rights Network in Washington, D.C., and worked at the Burton Blatt Institute, where she served underrepresented individuals. Having experienced her parents’ divorce in her childhood, Joo Hee naturally became passionate about helping families and children in difficult situations. As a mother of a child with special needs, she also has a deep empathy for disabled people.
As a brilliant bilingual attorney licensed in both South Korea and New York State (admitted to practice law in NYS in 2022), she joined the Nave Law Firm in October 2025 and aims to be an attorney who provides competent support and trust to people.
