SEUM Law (“SEUM”) ranked fourth on the 2002 Bloomberg M&A league table (by deal count). Keeping the same rank achieved last year, SEUM was recognized once again for its expertise in advising large cross-border M&A deals, such as its work in advising long-term client Stradvision in receiving investment from a US global automobile parts company Aptiv (deal value at 50 billion Korean Won) and advising Mecaro’s sale of its chemical components business to Merck (deal value at 1.462 billion Korean won).

In 2022, SEUM advised a total of 78 M&A deals (having transaction value of 1 billion Korean Won or greater for the first half of 2022 and having transaction value of 5 billion Korean Won or greater for the second half), also continuing its steady growth in market share by deal value(Link to Article).

In addition, SEUM was ranked 7th in The Bell’s M&A league table (completed), which assesses its rankings based on deals having a value of 5 billion Korean Won or greater. SEUM also ranked 10th in the M&A league table announced by Invest Chosun, which only accounts for large-scale deals having a transaction value of 50 billion Korean Won or greater.
