[The Dong-A Ilbo] Lee & Ko Expands its ‘Management Dispute Team’ with M&A Experts and Former Judges

December 29, 2025
Dong-A Ilbo introduced Lee & Ko’s Management Dispute Team, reporting “Since April of this year, Lee & Ko has expanded its 'Management Control Dispute Team' by appointing two lawyers, Dajoo Jung (31st Judicial Research and Training Institute) and Sejoong Lee, both having experience in the field of M&A and as former judges, as co-team leaders.” The report continued, “Recently, members of the team helped secure an acquittal for Jae-Hyeon Bae, the former head of Kakao’s investment division, and Kakao Corporation in a first-instance ruling related to stock manipulation charges. This highlights one of the strengths of the team, as M&A-specialized lawyers provide advice on corporate management disputes, while former judges can step in at any time to handle related derivative criminal cases.''
