Jipyong Capital Markets Group Publishes 'Jipyong IPO Practice Research (2025)'

2025.03.15

On March 15, the IPO Practice Research Group of Jipyong Capital Markets Group (“Capital Markets Group”) published Jipyong IPO Practice Research (2025), a comprehensive resource addressing practical legal challenges encountered during the initial public offering (IPO) process in Korea.   
 
Building upon last year’s Jipyong IPO Practice Book (2024), the 2025 edition covers key practical issues and incorporates updates regarding amendments to laws, regulations, and guidelines.  It also includes experiences and expertise of foreign companies conducting IPOs on Korean exchanges as well as providing practical insights on the Supreme Court’s ruling on investor informed consent.   
 
The book is organized into three chapters, including a closing review of the IPO market in 2024.  Chapter 1 (“General—Listing Systems”) covers ▲the significance of IPOs, ▲eight essential points CEOs must know for a successful IPO, ▲IPO requirements, and ▲IPO procedures. Chapter 2 (“Major Issues in Practice”) addresses ▲management transparency and internal control deficiencies, ▲management stability and shareholder agreements, ▲ stock option-related issues, ▲failure to file securities reports, and ▲case studies. Chapter 3 (“Specialized IPO Practices”) discusses ▲IPOs by PEF managers, ▲IPOs by companies where PEFs are the largest shareholders, and ▲IPOs by foreign companies on the Korea Exchange.   
 
“This book provides practical solutions to a range of legal issues faced by companies preparing for an IPO and offers a clear and balanced summary of matters that must be considered at each stage.  In particular, this book will be highly useful to those who conduct an IPO in practice, as it covers not only general listing requirements and procedures but also key issues frequently encountered during the listing process, such as internal control deficiencies, shareholder agreements, stock options, and failure to file securities reports,” said Nam Gi CHAE, senior advisor at Jipyong and a former Vice Chairman of the Korea Exchange, in his testimonial.   
 
Haeng Gyu LEE, Managing Partner of Jipyong, added, “We hope this publication will contribute to a deeper understanding of the essence of IPOs among capital market participants, recognizing that the IPO process is not just a legal review and evaluation, but a crucial step in a private company’s transformation into a public company, along with its continued growth.  Jipyong Capital Markets Group will continue to update the Practice Note to provide practical support.”   
 
Jipyong Capital Markets Group has been recognized as Korea’s top legal counsel for IPOs for five consecutive years, from 2019 to 2023.  In February 2025, the firm welcomed former Korea Exchange Vice Chairman Nam Gi CHAE, who is widely regarded as a leading market expert who has driven the global standardization of the Korean stock market.  Leveraging his deep understanding of Korea Exchange experiences, Mr. CHAE will further enhance the firm’s ability to provide optimized solutions for listed companies facing various listing eligibility issues as its senior advisor.   
 
Meanwhile, Jipyong Capital Markets Group will host the “2025 Jipyong IPO Forum” via webinar on April 2 at 2 p.m., which will offer a summary of the 2024 IPO market.
