On June 11, 2024, Legal Times featured an interview with Sang Gon Kim, Managing Partner of Lee & Ko. This month’s edition spotlighted Mr. Kim as a “lawyer whose career is a testament to his dedication to the firm, starting as an associate in 1994 and ultimately ascending to the role of managing director after 28 years.” In the interview, Mr. Kim stated, “After two years of ‘homogenization’ and ‘rebalancing’ efforts, I don’t think any specific endeavors are needed in any of our teams for now,” and added, “It is noteworthy that our firm has constantly addressed our past shortcomings through these homogenization and rebalancing efforts, while successfully maintaining our robust advisory prowess in financial investments and M&A. I believe this approach has allowed us to gain a competitive edge among other firms.” Mr. Kim concluded with confidence, stating, “I anticipate that, if the advisory market rebounds to 2021 levels due to US interest rate cuts, Lee & Ko will lead in securing outstanding achievements and run at the forefront to seize this opportunity for continued expansion.”
