Corporate Affairs
Our corporate affairs project area provides the international business community with unique access to the issues and individuals that define U.S.-Korea business relations in a rapidly changing global environment. The programs offered in this project area include conferences, seminars and forums that help Americans and Koreans meet the challenges of doing business together. These programs bring together Korean and American leaders from government, business, the media, academia and international organizations for frank and interactive discussions of the current economic, political and security topics that affect U.S.-Korea relations in a global context.
The focus of this project area is to explore and clarify the major issues affecting the economic partnership between the U.S. and Korea by providing opportunities for interaction between major players in both the private and public sectors of both countries. The objective is to promote a better understanding of the potential for mutually beneficial collaboration within a rapidly changing global environment.

A clash over
positive domestic fundamentals and concerns over the US sliding into recession is creating a window of uncertainty for Korean
stocks. The long-lasting perception that the Korean market is highly
geared to global growth has led to massive selling by
foreigners just as a domestic equity culture emerges in Korea.
Despite the uncertainty shrouding the global economy, local liquidity remains
supportive as GDP is forecasted to grow 4.6% in 2008 and domestic investors
expect the new administration to rejuvenate the economy by slashing taxes and
focusing on deregulation and efficiency. Is the recent share
price weakness due to deteriorating fundamentals or contagion from the credit
crisis? Can the Korean market withstand the global headwinds and resume
its re-rating in 2008?
Dan Perez
will address these and other issues relating to the Korean economy and market
on Friday, April 25th.

South Korea is the only member of the OECD and one of the last few Asian countries that have not liberalized their legal services market. Not only are foreign law firms not allowed to set up offices in Korea, but lawyers with foreign licenses are not permitted to practice and their status is not officially recognized. However, with the prospective ratification of the KORUS FTA, Korea's legal services market might have an opportunity to finally open its doors to international legal professionals and catch up with the corporate sector. As the demand for a larger number of legal advisers with expertise in international finance grows, American law firms, as well as law firms from the UK and Europe, have been anticipating the liberalization of the Korean legal market, particularly since the signing of the free trade agreement between the US and South Korea on June 30, 2007.
David Cho will speak about the practical impacts of this development on his practice and on the types of transactions that he works on.

The
next few months will be critical to securing the most commercially significant
free-trade agreement for the U.S. in more than 15 years, says Tami Overby,
president & CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea
(AMCHAM Korea). Following the election of a new president in South Korea, and the emergence of free trade as a
hot-button issue in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, the tone
of the debate over the pending KORUS FTA is undergoing a significant shift. New ROK President Lee Myung-bak has expressed his strong interest in the FTA, which is currently pending ratification in Korea's
National Assembly. But as President Lee prepares to make his first visit to the United States, prospects for ratification in the U.S. Congress are far from certain, because of South Korea's closure of its market to U.S. beef and growing concern in the U.S. about the fairness of such trade agreements. Tami Overby will discuss the specific opportunities and
benefits the KORUS FTA offers to U.S. investors, manufacturers and
exporters interested in Asian markets. She will also offer an update on the
ratification debate in both countries.
