Insolvency & Restructuring Litigation

Overview

More and more companies experiencing financial difficulties are employing rehabilitation and bankruptcy procedures in accordance with bankruptcy law in order to overcome such difficulties and resolve legal issues with debtors and interested parties.

Unlike general civil proceedings, those related to corporate rehabilitation and bankruptcy follow unique procedures, and a court or tribunal with exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases presides over these proceedings. Thus, rehabilitation and bankruptcy litigations demand professionals to have a specialized set of skills, knowledge and experience.

Kim & Chang’s Insolvency & Restructuring Litigation Practice has advised and represented clients in a variety of rehabilitation and bankruptcy cases and has accumulated unparalleled experience. Our Practice has a large number of professionals including attorneys with extensive court experience in corporate bankruptcy cases as well as legal professionals and CPAs specialized in corporate restructuring.
