Hemi Lee – Kim & Chang

Domestic and international clients from industries such as ICT, medical and pharmaceutical, automotive and aviation trust the sizeable team at Kim & Chang for assistance with issues such as merger control, international cartel and abuse of market dominance. International cartel cases and foreign-to-foreign mergers is another area of longstanding strength. Youngjin Jung co-heads the practice; his expertise and the firm’s reach has recently been demonstrated by the key role Jung has played coordinating the global merger filing in several jurisdictions for Korean Air’s acquisition of Asiana Airlines. Gene-Oh (Gene) Kim completes the leadership team and counts illegal collusion, abuse of market dominance and unfair trade practices as core areas of expertise. Foreign attorneys Brian Tae-Hyun Chung and Jung-Won Hyun  are key contacts for merger filings for inbound and outbound M&A transactions and merger control cases involving remedies issued by the KFTC, respectively. Representing domestic and online platforms in KFTC investigations stands out as an area of recent activity for Kyung Min Koh. Min-Ho Lee is praised for his ‘good knowledge of fair trade’. Hemi Lee is a further name to note.
