Policy Finance
overview
Recent changes in global industrial and trade structures, coupled with the push for economic recovery and industrial advancement, have led to a rapid increase in the demand for policy-driven restructuring. Such restructuring initiatives are often led by policy financial institutions, including policy banks and UAMCO.
Policy-driven restructuring requires comprehensive legal and strategic advice across a broad range of areas, including corporate restructuring (e.g., workouts and rehabilitation proceedings), finance, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), general corporate matters, and strategies to maintain listing eligibility. Delivering effective advice in this context requires a deep understanding of government policy, regulatory frameworks, and the relevant industry landscape.
To address these needs, Shin & Kim has established a dedicated one-stop service team comprising senior advisors with experience across key government ministries, as well as specialists in all relevant practice areas. This integrated platform enables us to provide timely, coordinated, and comprehensive support for policy-driven restructuring matters.
