Michael Kim on the Firm’s Conflict-Free Model with The American Lawyer

Michael Kim recently sat down with The American Lawyer’s Ross Todd for a two-part, in-depth discussion on the rigors of Kobre & Kim’s unique, conflict-free business model.

Mr. Kim said: “I'm a firm believer that you can be successful doing anything if you're clear about what you are and you're consistent in your behavior,” and Kobre & Kim is clear in its commitment to “to remain conflict-free, to remain trusted by other law firms.”

Mr. Kim continued, saying: “So I think referral firms depend on our integrity—to know we don't have any [underlying] commercial agendas. We actually just want to come and do an honest job. It is actually part of our brand.”

Kobre & Kim Hosts “The Brazil-China Playbook: From Award to Recovery”

On November 18, 2025, Kobre & Kim welcomed leading practitioners and China-focused legal professionals to its São Paulo office for an in-depth discussion titled “The Brazil-China Playbook: From Award to Recovery.” The session, led by John Han, explored the complexities of navigating disputes and judgment enforcement matters spanning Brazil and China.

Participants worked through a hypothetical Brazil–China joint venture dispute to examine the practical considerations that often determine the trajectory of cross-border matters. Discussions addressed how forum selection and choice of law play out, the challenges involved in taking control of PRC-based companies, and the role of asset structures and transfers, including PRC blocking and circular mechanisms, in shaping enforcement strategy. The group also analyzed the strategic pathways available for monetizing awards and claims in cross-border situations.

The program reflects Kobre & Kim’s commitment to providing clients and industry professionals with actionable insights into the legal and commercial factors that influence cross-border disputes.

Carolina Leung Spoke on Asset Recovery and Criminal Enforcement at IBA Conference in Rio de Janeiro

We were pleased to have Kobre & Kim’s Carolina Leung speak on a panel titled “Asset recovery when criminal authorities are involved” at IBA’s When Litigation Meets Crime Conference, which took place on January 28, 2026, in Rio de Janeiro.

The panel examined the complex challenges that arise when insolvency practitioners, creditors, and investors pursue recoveries in parallel with criminal authorities. Drawing on her experience advising trustees and stakeholders in cross-border insolvency and enforcement matters, Ms. Leung addressed how civil recovery efforts intersect with government investigations and forfeiture proceedings, and how strategic coordination with authorities can materially affect outcomes.

Discussion topics included navigating recoveries when indictments are pending, managing the risks associated with transacting estate assets under government scrutiny, and the limits of the automatic stay where criminal authorities are involved. The panel also explored scenarios in which trustees or receivers may be better positioned than the government to pursue certain assets or claims, and how practitioners can work constructively with prosecutors to maximize recoveries. Ms. Leung shared insights from matters in which she has represented insolvency trustees in negotiations with the U.S. Department of Justice, leveraging forfeiture tools to enhance asset recovery.

Carolina was joined by Aurelie Conrad Hari (Switzerland), Henrique Forssell (Brazil), and Felix Ng (Hong Kong). The session was moderated by Kate McMahon (Edmonds Marshall McMahon, London) and Benoît Mauron (Lalive, Geneva).
