Daeryun Law Firm exceeded KRW 130 billion in sales last year... 9th among law firms

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 9th that it continued to grow at a rapid double-digit rate last year following 2024, solidifying its position as the '9th largest law firm in Korea' in terms of sales for two consecutive years.

Last year, Daeryun's sales based on value-added tax declaration amounted to 130 billion won. This is a 15.4% increase compared to the previous year, which was about 112.6 billion won. Among the major law firms with top sales announced earlier this year, this is the second highest growth rate after Shin Sejong (18.0%).

Daeryun’s sales per lawyer are approximately 540 million won. This ranks 8th in the country.

The background for growth is considered to be ‘overwhelming infrastructure’ and ‘responsible litigation system’. Previously, Daeryun significantly strengthened its cross-border legal advisory capabilities by establishing a local corporation, SJKP, in New York, USA last year. After opening, a class action lawsuit was filed against Coupang's U.S. headquarters.

Daeryun also structured a litigation system that requires an experienced manager-level attorney to oversee all aspects of the practice, including customer communication, strategy establishment, and trial attendance. The purpose is to resolve the problem of service imbalance that can occur when senior lawyers are excluded from practice or individual lawyers with less experience are in charge of cases. Daeryun is known to have carried out more than 15,000 cases last year.

Kim Kook-il, CEO of Daeryun Management, said, “What is more important than the external figure of sales is the practical data accumulated through directly solving numerous cases and the resulting customer trust.” He added, “The majority of clients who have actually experienced Daeryun are satisfied with the service and request new cases or actively introduce them to their friends. A virtuous cycle has been established.”

He emphasized, “This year, we will also focus on the essence of a law firm that prioritizes protecting the rights and interests of clients through Daeryun’s unique responsible litigation system.”
