Daeryun operates the only law firm debt collection center... “Combining expertise in the litigation field”

Lee Sang-kwon, Korea's No. 1 debt collection expert, takes charge of the center.

Daeryun Law Firm (CEOs Kuk-il Kim and Byeong-jun Ko) is the only major law firm in Korea that operates a debt collection center. Currently, only lawyers and credit information companies licensed by the Financial Supervisory Service can conduct debt collection in Korea, and Daeryun is the only large law firm specializing in this field.

The background of the creation of the Daeryun Debt Collection Center lies in the values ​​pursued by Daeryun. The vision that ‘anyone can receive high-quality legal services anytime, anywhere’ has also been applied to the field of debt collection. We ensure that clients can use the services they need in a legal and efficient manner through lawyers.

What stands out most about the center is the collaboration of experts in multiple fields. Experts with extensive experience, such as lawyers, paralegals, tax accountants, and accountants, provide quick and accurate results.

The center's spearhead was Lee Sang-kwon (Judicial Research and Training Institute 31st class), a lawyer specializing in debt collection. He started working as a lawyer in 2002 and has been in charge of overseas debt collection at TCM Korea Law Office.

Attorney Lee entered the field of debt collection in earnest in 2011, and through hard work, achieved the feat of registering debt collection as a specialty with the Korean Bar Association (Bar Association) for the first time in Korea. He is considered an authority in the field of debt collection, serving as the first president of the Korean Bar Association's Debt Collection Lawyers Association and currently serving as an advisor.

Attorney Lee, who took over as director of the center, said, “It is time for a preemptive response as interest in collection is increasing,” and added, “By delegating tasks to professional lawyers, they can proceed with everything from simple collection tasks to complex legal procedures, enabling efficient debt recovery. Various effects are expected by allowing law firms to utilize human and material resources.”

A lawyer's debt collection process goes through several steps. In addition, this series of processes requires legal means, from proof of contents to payment orders and seizures, and it is important to receive professional help from a lawyer.

When asked about the unique advantages of Daeryun Debt Collection Center, Attorney Lee responded that the combination of debt collection and litigation was impressive. He said, “Specializing in the field of debt collection means that we have everything from relatively simple tasks such as agreements and certification of contents to general litigation capabilities,” and added, “We are creating synergy by combining expertise in the debt collection and litigation fields.”

The close joint response system with the Daeryun Security Group is also worth noting. Just as there are plaintiffs and defendants in a lawsuit, there is also a side collecting the debt and a side receiving the debt in debt collection. Daeryun Security Group provides a variety of services, including accompanying professional security guards, to clients suffering from illegal debt collection.

Attorney Lee explained, “This can be said to be a new change as we have accomplished something that has not been attempted in the industry. In the case of illegal debt collection, a one-stop solution can be provided in connection with security services.”
