ClassHankyul’s Corporate/M&A Team not only possesses expertise in the relevant practice areas comparable to that of large law firms but also is differentiated from other law firms in that it has a significant advantage in providing legal advisory services while closely working with our clients, ensuring that they experience no inconvenience.
Our Corporate/M&A Team goes beyond providing routine legal advisory services related to day-to-day business management and offers solutions and advisory services tailored to our corporate clients’ mid- to long-term business strategy goals, such as corporate governance reorganization or corporate restructuring. In relation to M&A, the team does not simply provide advice on corporate acquisitions but offers total legal services encompassing antitrust and competition, tax, accounting, and other legal matters in which issues may arise in connection with the M&A process, including advisory services on ancillary procedures such as investment fund formation and acquisition financing during the investment process and business combination filings.
Moreover, our Corporate/M&A Team not only excels in handling corporate advisory, M&A, and litigation matters but also performs tasks related to corporate legal, M&A, corporate restructuring, rehabilitation, and bankruptcy, and compliance matters as well as the related litigation in a professional manner, leveraging our professionals and the extensive experience gained so far through numerous advisory engagements. We aim to build a partnership with our clients by offering the highest quality legal services using all our human resources and support systems.
