Daeryun Law Firm recruits lawyer Yeo Sang-won, a former chief judge... The person I saw a lot on TV

Diverse experience including trial researcher at the Supreme Court and arbitrator at the Korea Commercial Arbitration Board

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 7th that it will recruit Yeo Sang-won, an attorney with experience as a chief judge, to strengthen its litigation capabilities in all areas.

Attorney Yeo, who graduated from Gyeongbuk High School and Seoul National University Law School, is a ‘two-time winner of the civil service exam’, having passed both the 1981 public administration exam (25th) and the 1983 bar exam (25th).

Attorney Yeo, who took her first steps into the legal field by being appointed as a judge at the Uijeongbu District Court in 1988, served at the Seoul Southern District Court, the Changwon District Court, and the Seoul High Court, and served as the head of the Yeongdong branch of the Cheongju District Court. Afterwards, he served as a chief judge at the Suwon District Court, Seoul Central District Court, and Seoul Eastern District Court, where he tried various cases and also served as head of the criminal department dedicated to drugs.

He also has diverse experience in in-depth legal review, including as a trial researcher at the Supreme Court and as an arbitrator at the Korea Commercial Arbitration Board.

After completing 23 years of public service, Attorney Yeo began her full-time legal career in 2011. For example, a defendant with a history of using methamphetamine was sentenced to probation. In addition, he achieved significant results in a number of civil and criminal cases, including winning a drug price reduction lawsuit on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Welfare and receiving the Minister of Health and Welfare's Award.

In addition, he has participated as a political and legal panelist for major general programming channels for over 10 years, and is currently serving as the chairman of the People Power Party's Central Ethics Committee.

Attorney Yeo will reside at the headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul and will be in charge of criminal cases, including various contract laws, drug crimes, and sex crimes.

Attorney Yeo said, “I feel an infinite sense of responsibility as I join Daeryun, a fast-growing law firm ranked among the top 10 law firms,” and added, “I will utilize my nearly 40 years of legal experience to devise a plan to achieve the results my clients want.”

Kim Kook-il, CEO of Management, said, “Daeryun is making efforts to provide the most satisfactory legal services to clients, including by recently establishing a litigation management headquarters.” He added, “We expect that the company’s responsiveness in the litigation field will be greatly enhanced by the addition of a female attorney with long experience.”
