Bio

Han-Cheol Kang is an attorney in Kim & Chang’s Corporate Compliance, Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice. He has extensive experience in the area of digital forensic and e-discovery. His practice also focuses primarily on the health industry, encompassing the pharmaceuticals, medical device, foods, cosmetics, animal health products, and public health care sectors.

Mr. Kang has advised some of the largest multinational companies in the world including global pharmaceutical, medical device, food, and cosmetic companies on a broad range of regulatory, drug pricing and reimbursement, compliance, and competition law issues. His extensive experience also includes labor and employment, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and licensing and distribution within the health industry.

In particular, he has advised global pharmaceutical, medical device and bio-technology companies on antitrust and maximum reimbursement price issues, and has represented multiple global pharmaceutical companies before the Korean regulators such as the Prosecutors’ Office and the Korea Fair Trade Commission on various anti-kickback and unfair trade cases. He also defended his client companies before the Korean courts against the government’s compulsory reduction of the maximum reimbursement price of their major products.

Before joining Kim & Chang, Mr. Kang served as a judge advocate in the Republic of Korea Air Force and was a member of the ROKAF Aerospace Law Research Committee. He served as a visiting attorney at Allen & Gledhill LLP, Singapore in 2013 and served on the Innovation Type Pharmaceutical Company Certification Committee in 2012.

Mr. Kang’s most recent publications include: Study on Legitimacy of Regulation on Pharmaceutical Company's Health Campaign (The Journal of Regulation Studies Vol.22, No.1, 2013.6), Study on Institutional Review Board’s Roles in Regulating Illegal Rebate (Human Right and Justice Vol.434, 2013.6), and Expanded Access Program under Pharmaceutical Affairs Act (Korean Journal of Medicine and Law Vol.21, No.1, 2013.6). For his accomplishments, Mr. Kang has received the Korea Air Force Chief of Staff/ Decoration for Outstanding Legal Research (2006), Minister of Commerce, Industry and Energy Citation/ Decoration for Outstanding Legal Research (2005), and Korea Air Force Chief of Staff Citation/Decoration for Outstanding Legal Service (2004).

Mr. Kang was named in Asian Legal Review's "40 under 40" list in 2015 and was recognized among the "40 of the brightest young legal minds in the region." The publication ranked only three practitioners in Korea, of which Mr. Kang was the only corporate compliance and health law expert. Also, Mr. Kang was included in the seven finalists for the Asia Legal Award 2017 and 2018 in the field of corporate compliance. Mr. Kang attended the Judicial Research and Training Institute of the Supreme Court of Korea in 2002. He received LL.M. degrees from Seoul National University in 2007 and from Cornell Law School in 2013. Also, he received his M.S.H.P. from LSHTM, University of London in 2018 and completed his doctorate degree course from the Seoul National University School of Law in 2015.
