Meet ImHan Kim, associate general counsel

I am thrilled to join the Office of General Counsel at APA and support APA divisions. My legal career, spanning 11 years, has primarily focused on serving as in-house counsel in the pharmaceutical and healthcare research industry. In my last role, I held the position of senior counsel at the United States Pharmacopeial Convention, which is a membership-based nonprofit organization with active volunteer bodies. Prior to pursuing a career in law, I worked in mental health, and I also served in the United States Navy.

As associate general counsel, my responsibilities include working in several substantive legal areas, including intellectual property, privacy, complex contracting, and publishing-related legal issues. I will also work closely with APA divisions to provide counseling on contracts, publications, governance, and any other legal matters supporting division functions.

I recently transplanted to Richmond, Virgina, after spending most of my life between D.C. and the Pacific Northwest. When I'm not busy chasing after my little ones, you'll find me indulging my love for all things outdoors (all year and all weather!), tending my garden, and dining out.

Please feel free to contact me directly at (202) 336-6095 or via email. I would be delighted to hear from division leaders and learn more about their work.
