Jae Chul (JC) Lee has joined Loeb & Loeb’s Hong Kong affiliate, Pang & Co, as a partner in the capital markets department.
Most recently, Lee was a partner in the Hong Kong office of DLA Piper.
“Asia remains an important global business centre and a key market for our strategic growth, particularly within the capital markets and corporate arenas,” says Loeb & Loeb chairman Michael D Beck. “JC’s addition to our affiliated office in Hong Kong reflects our commitment to giving our clients greater access to the market’s top legal talent.”
Lee represents numerous Korean companies and financial institutions in a wide range of corporate and financing transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, oil and energy investments, initial public offerings, corporate reorganisations, project finance and secured and unsecured lending matters. His practice also focuses on debt capital markets transactions involving issuers from Korea, China and Hong Kong. These transactions include dim sum bonds, floating rate notes, convertible bonds, exchangeable bonds, and bonds with warrants. Lee also has significant experience in cross-border securitisation, structured finance and OTC derivatives involving Korean entities.
Lee will be a resident Pang & Co attorney in Hong Kong working in association with Loeb & Loeb. The two firms entered into an exclusive association in October 2012 when Loeb & Loeb opened its affiliated office in Hong Kong. With the addition of Lee, the office now has 20 attorneys and solicitors.
“Pang & Co and Loeb & Loeb offer a strong platform for growing my practice in Asia and abroad, and providing full-service support for my clients,” says Lee. “I look forward to working with this very impressive team.”
