Bio

Jeen Kim is a foreign attorney at Kim & Chang. He practices primarily in the area of finance, although his practice also extends to other areas including corporate compliance, governance and investigations.

Mr. Kim has broad transactional and regulatory experience in finance, across securities, banking, derivatives, asset management and insurance. In recent years, he has focused in the area of regulatory compliance, particularly in response to new laws and regulations promulgated following the latest financial crisis and most recently in response to the rapid expansion of financial technology applications. Prior to that, he was a financial markets lawyer in New York and Seoul, and began his career in Delaware focusing on corporate governance advisory and shareholder litigation matters. 

Prior to rejoining Kim & Chang, Mr. Kim was a managing director of Compliance at Standard Chartered Group in Singapore with global responsibility for numerous bank regulatory areas, including the Volcker Rule, the Dodd Frank Act and MiFID II/MiFIR. In that role, he initiated and oversaw the implementation of policies, processes and controls within their operating businesses to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Prior to that also at Standard Chartered, he was a managing director for financial markets legal coverage in New York and Executive Vice President and General Counsel for Standard Chartered Bank Korea Limited in Seoul. He was previously a managing director in the fixed income divisions of J.P. Morgan and Merrill Lynch in New York, co-director of structured products at Brevan Howard Asset Management, and a director of legal and compliance at Credit Suisse in New York and Seoul with responsibility for fixed income derivatives, securitizations, credit structuring, emerging markets and insurance convergence businesses. 

Mr. Kim received his J.D. and M.B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1991, where he was an editor of the North Carolina Law Review, and his A.B. in economics from Harvard College in 1983. He is admitted to practice in New York and Delaware.
