[IB TOMATO] "The More Difficult the Capital Market Is, the More Lawyer’s Expertise Is Needed" says Hyunjoo Oh of Lee & Ko

On January 2, 2023, IB Tomato carried an article on its recent interview with Hyunjoo Oh of Lee & Ko.  Ms. Oh, with more than 20 years of experience in capital markets, currently heads the capital markets team at Lee & Ko.  She emphasized that “as the capital market faces very difficult times, lawyer’s “problem-solving” ability becomes ever more important”.  She further noted that “we have a market that is deeply retrenched where borrowing is difficult to obtain and disputes over losses are occurring with greater frequency as payment defaults increases”.  She stressed that “in these uncertain times, lawyers need to be meticulous and be able to come up with the most rational response to unclear points”.
