Introduction
DLG provides end-to-end legal services across the venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) ecosystem. From fund formation(including venture capital funds and private equity funds), capital raising, deal structuring, and investor onboarding to exit strategies, we offer a one-stop legal platform for fund managers and portfolio companies alike.
Our services begin at the planning stage—designing optimal fund structures, fundraising frameworks, and regulatory compliance strategies. We help clients minimize risk and maximize returns through tailored investment structures, as well as strategic advice on timing and methods of exit.
In large-scale project finance deals (energy, aviation, etc.), we provide bespoke funding structures and integrated support for contract, tax, and regulatory issues. For cross-border transactions, we handle all reporting and compliance under Korea’s Foreign Exchange Transactions Act and Foreign Investment Promotion Act.
DLG’s VC/PE Practice Group has extensive experience in drafting investment agreements, shareholder contracts, and governance optimization, balancing the interests of investors and investees. We also represent clients in disputes including fund mis-selling, regulatory investigations, and investment recovery.
Recognizing asset management as a tightly regulated field, our services are rooted in a deep understanding of capital markets law and evolving regulatory trends.
