In order to provide information to our clients on countries in Central and South America which are enjoying continuous economic growth and becoming the centre of the world's economy, Jipyong & Jisung has launched a column entitled '¡Hola! Central and South America' which will commence in the February 2011 edition of the firm's Newsletter. In furtherance of providing more efficient services to our clients which are tailored to the characteristics of Central and South America, we have formed a Central and South America Team which comprises of experts in M&A, finance and foreign investment. We have also established a local investment network in Brazil by forming strong connections with local consulting firms and by interacting with several local Brazilian law firms which have extensive networks across the Central and South America, and thus, we have fostered an environment in which we can provide efficient legal services. In particular, a second-generation Korean-Brazilian attorney has joined the Seoul Office of Jipyong & Jisung, who has enabled the firm to provide comprehensive and independent legal services related to Brazil and other Central and South American countries within Korea in a professional manner.
