Organized by Shin & Kim's Corporate Advisory & M&A Group, the seminar will review major changes to capital markets and M&A regulations and share their practical implications and outlook. Now in its third year, the event will focus on regulatory changes that have recently had a direct impact on M&A practice, including directors' duty of loyalty and regulations on duplicate listings.

The seminar will begin with opening remarks by Managing Partner Jang Jaeyoung (29th class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute). Speakers will include Jung Junhyuk, a professor at Seoul National University School of Law; attorneys Kim Banghyun (35th class) and Lee Jihoon (fourth bar exam class) of Shin & Kim's Corporate Advisory & M&A Group; and attorney Park Yongjin (35th class) of its Corporate Finance Group.

First, Professor Jung Junhyuk will speak on "The Past, Present, and Future of M&A Legislation." He will review key legislative issues being pursued with a focus on strengthening shareholder protections, and examine changes to M&A legislation and directions for future regulatory improvements.

Attorneys Kim Banghyun, Park Yongjin, and Lee Jihoon will then give a joint presentation on "Regulations on Duplicate Listings," which have emerged as a key issue in capital markets. These regulations could affect corporate group restructuring, including fundraising and spin-offs carried out before their introduction. There are also numerous practical issues surrounding the specific scope of the obligations that parent companies must bear in the process of a duplicate listing.

Managing Partner Jang Jaeyoung said, "As the regulatory and legal environment surrounding M&A changes rapidly, the legal and strategic challenges companies must consider are becoming increasingly complex. I hope this seminar will help participants accurately understand major changes to capital markets and M&A regulations and their implications, and help companies explore practical ways to respond."

Shin & Kim's Corporate Advisory & M&A Group has approximately 100 M&A attorneys. Drawing on extensive experience and expertise across a wide range of clients and industries, it provides comprehensive advice on all issues that arise during the M&A process.
