Biography
Sung Bin Jhung is a partner at Yoon & Yang LLC, and his main practice areas are finance, capital market, securities, and AML.
Mr. Jhung possesses the industry’s leading expertise in handling the compliance regulations related to the Korea Exchange (KRX), such as delisting and assessment review for listing eligibility, IPO, dishonest disclosures, and mandatory holding period (lock-up). Based on 10-plus years of experience accumulated while advising clients (i.e., more than 100 companies in total) on delisting (substantive review) in the domestic capital market for various sectors (i.e., manufacturing, bio, service, and IT), including the reasons for delisting (i.e., embezzlement & breach of trust, violation of accounting standards, audit opinion, change in management right, and dishonest disclosure), Mr. Jhung’s strength lies in enabling client companies to remain listed and to resume trading.
As a qualified IPO professional consultant, he has provided IPO-related advice to companies preparing for listing in each market, including the NASDAQ, KOSPI, and KOSDAQ. In particular, he was recognized as the “Leading Advisory Lawyer” at the 6th Korea Legal Awards, thereby further cementing his credibility and expertise in his practice areas.
Mr. Jhung performs a key role in the supervision and inspection of anti-money laundering efforts of financial companies. Since the initial stage when the financial regulatory body implemented anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, Mr. Jhung has advised major Korean financial companies (i.e., commercial banks and securities firms) related to AML issues as well as inspections and sanctions by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). Based on obtaining license as a certified anti-money laundering specialist (ACAMS), he is capable of providing legal advice from a practical and industry standpoint, such as accurately identifying industry’s latest trends, and is also broadening advisory service to the digital finance industry (i.e., virtual asset and electronic finance business operators).
After studying law in Korea and the US, Mr. Jhung passed the attorney qualification exam to practice law in Korea and the bar exam to practice law in the State of New York. He has worked at major US law firms, such as Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP’s Atlanta office, and is using the experience accumulated to represent foreign entities in matters regarding general corporate law, M&A, investment and offshore fund.
