Overview
The Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) holds a firm regulatory grasp of the distribution sector by dividing it into sub-sectors based on the sub-sector specific laws such as the Fair Transactions in Franchise Business Act, the Act on Fair Transactions in Large Retail Business, the Fair Agency Transactions Act, and the Act on Door-to-Door Sales. Since each of the sub-sectors involves distinct regulatory aspects and risks, they require specialized advice from professionals with expertise and business acumen. Yoon & Yang’s Antitrust & Competition Practice provides clients with a clear interpretation of those sub-sector specific laws, detailed analysis of decisions rendered by the KFTC and the courts, assessment of business risks involved, and effective management and response measures to minimize potential legal disputes.
