Mergers and Acquisitions

Skadden has a long track record of providing innovative solutions for our Korean clients in connection with significant M&A transactions, both domestically and internationally. Clients look to us for our in-depth knowledge and understanding of the special concerns and needs of our businesses that operate in Asia. Providing comprehensive representation, including understanding local business culture and the global and political challenges associated with M&A deals, have allowed Skadden to counsel on some of the largest and most high-profile cross-border opportunities. In this capacity, we have extensive experience working with Korean companies in connection with their outbound investments and acquisitions.

Capital Markets

Skadden has advised on some of the most notable equity and debt matters involving Korean entities, including first-of-its kind matters and transactions that have received recognition as deal of the year in various publications. We have advised on initial public offerings, multibillion-dollar sovereign debt issuances, liability management transactions — including the restructuring of Samurai bonds and Eurobonds — offerings of American depositary shares and Rule 144A/Regulation S offerings.

International Arbitration and Litigation

Our attorneys have represented numerous Korean clients in all facets of U.S. litigation and international arbitration proceedings over the last several years, as well as a number of the most high-profile cases internationally. Many of these representations have culminated in unprecedented results for the clients, including early dismissal of multibillion-dollar claims, favorable settlements and victories following hard-fought trials and arbitrations.
