Daeryun Law Firm recruits former Deputy Chief Prosecutor Cho Sang-soo

Daeryun Law Firm (CEOs Kim Kuk-il and Ko Byeong-jun) announced on the 26th that it had hired lawyer Cho Sang-soo (62, 18th class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), a former deputy chief prosecutor, as its chief general counsel.

After passing the 28th bar exam in 1986, Attorney Cho was appointed as a prosecutor at the Northern Branch of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office in 1992. Since then, he has gained extensive experience by taking charge of cases in various fields, including medicine, intellectual property rights, and traffic crimes, at Incheon District Prosecutors' Office, Busan District Prosecutors' Eastern District Office, and Suwon District Prosecutors' Pyeongtaek Branch.

In 2003, he was dispatched to the Constitutional Court as a constitutional researcher, and in 2006, he served as head of the Public Security Division 1 of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and was in charge of investigating election and anti-communist cases. Attorney Cho, who became a lawyer in 2011 after working as a prosecutor for more than 20 years, solidified his position in the legal field by obtaining not guilty verdicts in cases such as the bribery case of the director of a national research institute and the defamation case of a high-ranking public official.

In particular, Attorney Cho has expertise in the IT field. He earned a master's degree in information security and a doctorate in IT policy management from Soongsil University, and gained practical experience by serving on the IT and personal information protection legal advisory group of the Korean Bar Association in 2014.

Currently, he serves as a member of the Mining Mediation Committee under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Broadcast Dispute Mediation Committee under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and provides legal advice.

Attorney Cho said, "I am happy to join Daeryun," and added, "Based on the legal expertise I have accumulated over 30 years, I will put my clients' interests first and spare no effort in providing legal support."

Kim Kook-il (56, 24th class), CEO of Daeryun Management, said, "Attorney Cho is a person who has successfully handled cases that have attracted social attention through his work as a prosecutor and lawyer. He has expertise in the IT field in particular, and is expected to contribute to improving the quality of Daeryun's legal services."
