South Korea > Antitrust and competition: local firms
(Leading individuals)The combination of ‘excellent legal skills’ and ‘creative strategic thinking’ at Shin & Kim allows the firm to handle a wide range of major antitrust cases. Merger filings for high-profile M&A transactions and international and domestic cartel matters stand out as particular strengths. Young Chul Yim leads the practice. His time serving as general counsel of the KFTC has given him a panoramic understanding of Korean antitrust law. Foreign practitioner John Choi is an authority on international cartel cases. Jooyoung Park’s varied practice extends to multi-jurisdictional abuse of dominance cases, while merger filing expert Sangdon Lee handles between 60 and 70 merger filings each year. Geun-Bae Seok is singled out for his expertise in cartel mandates.
