Publication Date: June 21, 2020. The Korea Economic Daily reported an interview with lawyer Sang Gon Kim from Lee & Ko law firm, regarding the proposed amendment to the commercial law.

Kim claimed that, “In connection to the provision of separate election of auditors in the amendment to the Commercial Law, in case of elec

tion of a single director may be vulnerable to misuse of authority which can interfere with the management of the corporation. Possibility of frequent confrontation at general shareholders meeting is likely to increase, and various provisional disputes related to advisory demands and management rights are expected to increase rapidly.”

Since joining Lee & Ko law firm in 1994, Mr. Kim has established his position as a leading lawyer in the field of not limited to cross border M&A and corporate restructuring, but also hostile M&A and restructuring into holding company structure.
