Bae, Kim & Lee LLC provides a full-spectrum capital markets service, with a particularly strong reputation for offering ‘expertise in Korean securitisation and covered bonds.’ The group, led by Jeong Rai Cho, continues to handle a strong share of Korean IPOs as issuer and underwriters counsel, at the same time as expanding its practice in certain key growth areas, such as foreign currency-denominated exchangeable bonds. Eui Jong Chung serves as counsel to global financial institutions and private equity funds, among others, with particular expertise in securitisation. Jeong-Hoon Lee has notable experience advising on IPOs in the pharma, entertainment, and insurance sectors, while Hee-Gang Shin specialises in IPOs and overseas securities. Yelim Hyon, promoted to partner in January 2024, primarily represents issuers and investment banks. Annie Eunah Lee and Min Kyung Park are both noted for their contributions.
