South Korean law firms are witnessing a particularly active pipeline of work in the environmental and waste management space this year, with foreign and domestic private equity firms leading the investment drive, Asia Business Law Journal has learned. “This uptick can be attributed to the natural cycle of private equity investments,” said Jae Hyun Park, an M&A partner at Yulchon LLC in Seoul. Park, together with partners Chee-Kwan ("CK") Kim and Ho Sung Song, recently led a Yulchon team advising South Korean private equity IMM-led consortium on the total buyout of domestic waste treatment firm Ecorbit for KRW2.7 trillion (USD2.04 billion) from local conglomerate Taeyoung Group-held TY Holdings and global PE firm KKR. Kim & Chang has confirmed with Asia Business Law Journal that it advised the seller, but it did not specify which seller party ‒ KKR or TY holdings, or both ‒ it represented. 📲 Sign up for the latest updates in the legal industry: https://lnkd.in/g3brrPdM #lawdotasia #ablj #iblj #cblj #asia #korea #privateequity #investment #buyout #legalnews #generalcounsel #inhousecounsel #business #legalprofession #lawfirms #lawyers #legal #law

In acquisitions or investment transactions involving promoter-controlled entities, promoters usually stand behind their indemnity obligations by resorting to such measures as escrows, price adjustments or holdbacks and direct recourse against sellers. However, issues arise when sellers are either investment funds nearing the end of their fund life; when the target is owned by investors with no identifiable promoter, or in the case of non-recourse or limited recourse deals. Parag Bhide and Mitali Kshatriya at Bharucha & Partners discuss the growing use and challenges of warranty and indemnity insurance in Indian M&A transactions. 📲 IBLJ is now on WhatsApp!

Korean lawyers, who gathered at the 10th Seoul ADR Festival, say the time is right for the country to realise its ambitions of becoming a recognised player in the region’s arbitration market, but the sector needs more support from local and international businesses. Their comments echoed the words of the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board (KCAB) International president Seung Wha Chang, who told Asia Business Law Journal as the conference began last week, that his strategy would be to target civil law jurisdictions and make South Korea a go-to arbitration hub. “I believe we need now to think seriously about whether Korea can offer the procedural reliability and validity to serve as the place of arbitration satisfying both common law and civil law systems,” Jinhee Kim, global practice chair at Jipyong. Kap-You (Kevin) KIM, a senior partner at Peter & Kim, said Seoul had immense potential given that “the market is seeking alternatives to Singapore and Hong Kong, particularly looking for arbitration venues in Northeast Asia”. Sae Youn Kim, a senior member of the international arbitration and cross-border litigation practice at Kim & Chang, added: “Now is the time for Korea to gain momentum.” To achieve this, Byung-Chol Yoon, a partner and member of the same practice group at Kim & Chang, said the perception of businesspeople needed to be improved. 📢 Join our membership: https://lnkd.in/gi5sZaTn #lawdotasia #ablj #iblj #cblj #asia #korea #arbitration #civillaw #commerciallaw #legalnews #generalcounsel #inhousecounsel #business #legalprofession #lawfirms #lawyers #legal #law
