Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 3rd that it signed an MOU with Ewha Womans University Law School to foster global legal professionals.

Ewha Womans University Law School, which opened in 2009 after graduating from the College of Law in 1950 and the College of Law in 1996, is a historic educational institution that has produced many of the best female lawyers in Korea. Ewha Womans University Law School has led the legal field by producing Korea's first female lawyer, Constitutional Court judge, and Minister of Government Legislation. In addition, last year, it ranked first among 25 law schools nationwide in the appointment of new trial researchers and prosecutors.

Daeryun ranked 9th in terms of sales in the law firm industry last year, becoming one of the top 10 law firms in the domestic legal market. This is thanks to the establishment of specialized groups in each field, including corporate, tax, and medical care, and the steady recruitment of experts suited to the characteristics of each field. In particular, the company is accelerating its expansion into Tokyo, Japan, and New York, USA, and is also targeting the global market. In addition, as part of his social responsibility, Daeryun established the public interest association ‘Yeon-Yeonbeop’ in February and began activities in earnest.

This agreement was promoted to increase international competitiveness by nurturing global young and prospective legal professionals. Through this agreement, the two companies plan to cooperate in △domestic and international legal market analysis research △international legal theory and practice lectures △promotion of education and seminars to foster global legal professionals.

In particular, Daeryun plans to provide special benefits by selecting trainees every year and providing opportunities for practical training. Through this, Ewha Womans University Law School students are expected to be able to gain experience in the actual legal field.

Ewha Womans University Law School Dean Kim Hyeon-cheol said, "We signed this agreement to open good opportunities to more students. We plan to hold a 'talent fair' in the future, and I hope that it will be an opportunity to introduce global vision and direction between both companies." He added, "Various practical experiences are needed to cultivate global lawyers, and I believe that Daeryun, a law firm in the midst of overseas expansion, can be of great help. I hope that students will be able to accumulate various learnings and experiences through future exchanges." said. In addition, Director Kim added, “I would like to participate as a member of ‘Relationship Law’, an association established by Daeryun, and realize the values ​​of education and public interest together.”

Daeryun CEO Kim Kuk-il said, “We are happy to be able to cooperate with Ewha Womans University, which is renowned for producing lawyers,” and added, “We plan to select excellent students every year and help them broaden their knowledge of the overseas legal market.” He said, “Currently, we are in the process of expanding into overseas markets such as Japan and the United States, as well as recruiting human resources such as lawyers specializing in foreign law. We will spare no effort in providing support where we can.”
