Private equity fund markets are expanding day by day, and a significant portion of these funds are invested in overseas assets. However, the suitability of management and the recovery of funds in relation to private equity funds invested in overseas assets have become important issues as we experienced the Lime/Optimus fund scandals and the COVID-19 global pandemic.

In response to these changes, Barun Law has established the Alternative Investments and Recovery Advisory Team, consisting of professionals with extensive experience and expertise in the areas of domestic and overseas investments, private equity, and real estate finance. The team is able to provide optimal legal advice for various types of investments, transactions and financings based on assets such as domestic and overseas real estate, ships, aircraft, and infrastructure, and through collaboration with overseas law firms and accounting firms, the team will quickly and accurately identify the status of rights and assets, diagnose possible risks, and suggest the best way to recover investment funds and receivables.
