“We are very pleased that Hyun has decided to join us,” said Truong Nhat Quang, managing partner of YKVN. “His strong experience and track record in capital markets, M&A and arbitration will strengthen our ability to serve clients in key practice areas. He will be a key player in the expansion of our international practice.”
