We regularly represent issuers, underwriters and investors in a variety of transactions, including equity offerings that range from IPOs and follow-on offerings to block trades, debt offerings and various types of equity-linked securities offerings in the Korean capital markets for both Korean and foreign companies, as well as transactions involving Korean companies’ access to the international capital markets. Our services to clients cover traditional equity or bond offerings as well as more complicated or structured hybrid instruments and derivatives. Our Capital Markets Practice has consistently been at the forefront of developing novel and innovative forms of transactions, including listings of Korean companies on overseas exchanges and issuances of new types of securities, such as contingent convertible bonds as complementary capital.
Our experts offer effective and efficient advice tailored to our clients’ needs, based not only on our legal expertise but on our accumulated practice experience in the capital markets coming from both the private and public sectors. Leveraging our extensive experience in the capital markets and staying on top of new developments in the financial investment, capital markets and other securities-related laws and regulations, we are fully committed to coming up with practical solutions that can meet specific client needs.
