FleishmanHillard Korea bolsters crisis response capabilities with new partnership

Korea-based law firm Yulchon LLC and FleishmanHillard Korea have inked deal to strengthen their consulting capabilities for listed companies in crisis response, annual general meetings, and shareholder rights exercises.

This agreement aims to provide integrated solutions that combine legal and communication expertise to address the various challenges faced by listed companies in the rapidly changing capital market.

The two companies have agreed to strengthen cooperation in three key areas: crisis response, annual general meetings, and the exercise of shareholder rights. They plan to share the latest trends and practical expertise through regular joint seminars, offering hands-on learning opportunities for executives and staff members of listed companies.

Additionally, by combining their expertise and experience, the two companies plan to enhance the quality of consulting services and jointly develop integrated solutions for complex, multi-dimensional challenges. This partnership ensures customized services to meet diverse client needs and will consistently pursue mutually agreed strategic cooperation initiatives.

Seok Hoon Kang, chairman and managing partner of Yulchon, said: "The challenges facing listed companies in today’s dynamic capital market are becoming increasingly complex. By combining FleishmanHillard Korea's outstanding communication capabilities with Yulchon's legal expertise, we will provide more comprehensive and sophisticated services."

Yvonne Park (third right), president, senior vice president and senior partner, stated: "Yulchon is a trusted partner with top-level legal services and global expertise in Korea. Our collaboration will deliver innovative, integrated solutions to enhance board functions, strengthen decision-making systems, and optimise shareholder communication."

Back in January, FleishmanHillard appointed Thomas Skelton as regional lead of its research and analytics practice, TRUE Global Intelligence (TGI) in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. Skelton succeeds Michael Rinaman, who left the agency in 2024 to pursue other opportunities. 

Based in Singapore, Skelton will oversee the growth and operation of TGI in APAC, driving the agency’s expanding research and analytics capabilities to deliver data-driven insights and solutions for clients across the region. He will report to Joanne Wong, APAC president and senior partner at FleishmanHillard.
