02.24.22

Simpson Thacher represented Korean telecommunications company KT Corporation in successfully resolving an SEC investigation regarding allegations of FCPA violations in Korea and Vietnam. In February 2022, KT Corporation entered into a resolution with the SEC and received credit for its cooperation, which included conducting an internal investigation and making foreign-based employees available for interviews in the United States, among other things. KT Corporation consented to the SEC’s order without admitting to the allegations.

The resolution garnered significant press coverage, including in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The American Lawyer and Law360.

The Simpson Thacher team included Cheryl J. Scarboro, Adam Goldberg, David H. Caldwell and Elizabeth H. French.
