About Us

About Us
Know the Terrain

We chart the legal terrain.  We guide.  You advance.  We free your time, talent, and focus to build and move.  As your navigators, we secure your position, steady your footing, and guide you with speed and purpose.

We are not just lawyers.

At GridSquare Legal, P.C., we understand that entrepreneurs and investors operate on a battlefield.

Markets shift. Competitors maneuver. Friction multiplies. Chaos disorients.

In this environment, having a clear lay of the land is empowering.  Knowing the legal terrain provides direction.

Just as Napoleon Bonaparte, through relentless study and battlefield experience, developed his legendary coup d’œil, the ability to instantly grasp the operational picture and act decisively, our mission is to help clients cut through the fog with a clear legal roadmap that enables strategic, instinctive, well-honed decision-making.

We are not just lawyers.

We are navigators, helping you push through uncertainty, friction, and legal complexity so you can swiftly and strategically maneuver your resources to maximum advantage.

From contract strategy to cross-border transactions, from formation to funding, from compliance to scaling, we serve as your staff advisors, always focused on the legal and regulatory terrain so you can focus on seizing opportunity and generating value to your communities.

We draw inspiration from Sun Tzu:

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.”

Why We Navigate

Andre Kim leads GridSquare Legal, P.C., a law firm built to guide entrepreneurs, investors, and mission-driven businesses through complex legal terrain. His work is driven by a simple goal: ensuring that those who build with discipline and sacrifice can one day say to their loved ones, “Well done,” and enjoy the results of their labor.

 

Andre works with founders and families building something real — companies, livelihoods, and legacies — often across borders, languages, and legal systems. He serves as a single point of coordination across corporate, tax, and cross-border matters, helping clients avoid costly missteps and move forward with clarity. He approaches each engagement with the mindset of a navigator: understanding the terrain, identifying risk, and charting a deliberate path forward.

 

That perspective is personal.

 

In June 2002, Andre graduated from Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and returned to his family’s newly purchased home — their first in the United States. It had been secured while he was away at boot camp, one of the final responsibilities his father was determined to complete as he neared the end of his life. Though weakened by cancer and unable to speak much, his father ensured his family would have stability, and that his son would be equipped for the future. A car. A desk. Tools, not luxuries. A final act of preparation.

 

The day Andre returned home, he found his father lying quietly in the backyard grass, gathering strength from the sun. An immigrant businessman from Korea who had survived the LA riots and built a life for his family, he rose slowly, extended his hand, met his son’s eyes, and without words conveyed what mattered most: well done.

 

That moment defines how Andre practices law.

 

As a Marine Corps judge advocate, he learned to advise commanders where decisions carried real consequences. He later served as a federal trial attorney with the IRS Office of Chief Counsel and practiced across government and private-sector roles, advising founders, executives, investors, and small businesses. Across each role, the expectation was the same: preparation, clarity, and accountability.

 

GridSquare Legal exists to bring that same discipline to clients navigating complex legal environments. The firm helps clients understand the terrain, move with precision, and reach their objectives with confidence.
