[EDAILY] Joint Seminar Successfully Held by Lee & Ko and the In-house Counsel Association as the Shareholders’ Meeting Season Begins

February 12, 2025
EDAILY reported on a seminar titled "Discussion on Practical Issues Related to Shareholders' Meeting Preparation and Operations in In-house Practice," jointly hosted by Lee & Ko and the In-house Counsel Association. The seminar was conducted as a town hall meeting, where Lee & Ko’s lawyers Tae Jung Kim and Hee Woong Lee, along with other lawyers from the Korean In-house Counsel Association, freely exchanged opinions on various relatively small topics based on pre-submitted questions from attendees. The seminar began with the issue of “special interests in the approval of director compensation limits,” which has recently become an important issue due to a series of lower court rulings that conflict with existing practices, and continued with heated discussions on a variety of issues, including “proxies for reviewing proxy statements, including electronic proxy statements,” which is still in the introduction stage, “problems with responding to general meeting attendees,” which is a frequent issue related to general meetings, and “problems with responding to issues raised by minority shareholders,” which is becoming increasingly more severe.
