Ability to respond quickly and accurately to pharmaceutical, bio, and healthcare fields that require expertise

Daeryun Law Firm (CEOs Kuk-il Kim and Byeong-jun Ko) announced on the 3rd that it has recruited a large number of experts in the pharmaceutical, bio, and healthcare industries and has significantly strengthened its medical pharmaceutical group in response to increasing medical disputes.

Daeryun Medical Pharmaceutical Group is an expansion and reorganization of the existing medical litigation group and was launched to provide comprehensive legal services in fields that require expertise such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.

A Daeryun official emphasized on this day, "As we proceed with this large-scale personnel recruitment and expansion reorganization, the group will be composed of a total of three centers (medical civil affairs, pharmaceutical/bio/healthcare, and medical advisory), and will respond to overall issues from medical disputes to regulations of related industries and risk management."

The head of the group is attorney Park Jeong-gyu (28th class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), a former chief judge of the Suwon District Court.
Attorney Park leads the group at the forefront based on his experience handling a variety of cases, including medical, civil, criminal, administrative, and labor cases. The role of strong support behind Attorney Park was played by Kim Kyung-hwan, head of the Medical Civil Affairs Center, and Lee Seo-hyung, head of the Pharmaceutical, Bio, and Healthcare Center.

Attorney Kim, who serves as the head of the Medical Civil Affairs Center, is registered as a medical lawyer with the Korean Bar Association and has successfully led various disputes, including medical law violations and medical accidents.

In addition, this lawyer, who was recently appointed as the director of the Pharmaceutical, Bio, and Healthcare Center, is a qualified pharmacist and has taken the lead in resolving medical legal issues for companies, individuals, medical professionals, and institutions. Attorney Lee is achieving outstanding results in the fields of clinical trials and digital healthcare.

As the legal demand in the medical market grows, there are a large number of lawyers who were medical professionals with medical practice know-how.

Lawyers Choi Yun-jeong and Yoon So-young, who hold pharmacist qualifications, Kim Jin-ju, a medical specialist registered with the Korean Bar Association, and Hong Seung-pyo, a former oriental medical doctor, are active in the medical pharmaceutical group based on their experience performing medical duties.

In particular, Attorney Yoon successfully led a variety of cases, including health insurance benefits and dispositions by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, based on the experience he gained while serving as an examiner at the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service and as a legal expert at the Planning and Coordination Office of the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

In addition, we recently hired attorney Lee Il-hyung, an expert in the pharmaceutical field. Attorney Lee, a former in-house lawyer at Celltrion, is a specialist with a pharmacist's license and qualifications as a patent attorney and an American accountant. He has handled numerous medical-related legal advice and civil and criminal cases, including patents and investment contracts.

In the case of medical disputes that take a long time, expert assistance is essential. In particular, the entire process from research and development of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, product launch, market distribution, approval and maintenance, requires support from experts in intellectual property rights, fair trade, etc.

Accordingly, the medical pharmaceutical group plans to collaborate with specialized groups within the corporation, such as intellectual property rights, fair trade, and administration, to do its best to provide related advice and respond to lawsuits.

Group leader Park Jeong-gyu explained, "There are parts of medical practice that are difficult to understand unless you are actually working in the medical field. This is why it takes a long time for related disputes to arise. In addition, legal issues related to the rapidly developing digital healthcare field are also arising due to the application of new technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence (AI)."

He continued, "The medical pharmaceutical group has expanded its scope of work to help in this area. The group's capabilities have been further strengthened by securing talent and establishing a system to deal with complex issues. We will continue to provide professional assistance to ensure that customers receive the results they want in the future."
