As uncertainty in both domestic and international economies continues, the number of corporate restructuring and bankruptcy applications has surged. According to court statistics, corporate restructuring applications rose from 717 in 2021 to 1,321 last year, with 731 applications recorded in the first half of this year.
Bankruptcy filings skyrocketed from 955 in 2021 to 2,282 last year, with 1,299 filings in the first half of this year. In this context, Barun emphasizes the importance of swift and effective normalization strategies for debtor companies, as well as the legal capabilities to protect and realize the legitimate rights of creditors.
The upcoming webinar aims to share practical legal strategies beneficial to corporate legal and debt management professionals, drawing on the extensive practical experience and success stories accumulated by Barun's restructuring and bankruptcy team. Key issues related to the denial of rights and recovery rights in restructuring processes, analysis of newly introduced bankruptcy systems, and practical responses to protect creditor rights will be thoroughly discussed.
Jo Dong-hyun, head of the restructuring and bankruptcy team, will present on "Game Changers in the Restructuring and Bankruptcy Phase: Practical Strategies for Denial and Recovery Rights," while attorney Lee Eung-kyo will discuss "Pre-ARS Hybrid Restructuring and Creditor-led M&A Plans." Attorney Park Kyu-hee will present on "Practical Strategies for Maximizing Creditor Recovery Rates." Following the presentations, attorney Park Je-hyung will lead a Q&A session for attendees.
