Korea Regional Media Inc. and Daeryun Law Firm (Limited) signed a business agreement

Community legal information communication and collaboration begin in earnest

Official launch of legal content joint planning and production system

On the 11th, Korea Local Journalists Club (KLJC) and Daeryun Law Firm (Liuhan) signed a business agreement to officially launch a joint planning and production system of legal content closely linked to the local community in order to provide practical and professional legal information to citizens across the country.

The business agreement signing ceremony was attended by Kim Kuk-il, CEO of Daeryun Law Firm, and working-level staff, and from the Korea Regional Journalists Club, Chairman Son Kyun-geun, Chairman Lee Ki-dong (Daegu Newspaper Seoul Reporting Department Head), Kang Byeong-woon, Mudeung Ilbo Seoul Reporting Department Head and Director, Baek Joo-hee, Ulsan Maeil Newspaper/UTV Political Department Reporter, Kim Doo-soo, Gyeongsang Ilbo Seoul Headquarters and Director, and Chungbuk Ilbo Headquarters Choi Dae-man. We attended and discussed specific action plans for the future.

This agreement is centered on connecting lawyers from Daeryun Law Firm (Limited) with reporters from member companies of the Korea Local Journalists Club (KLJC) to regularly provide essential legal information to local residents.

Through this MOU, the two sides agreed to promote multi-faceted collaboration, including healthy development of the legal service industry, expansion of services to the public, cooperation in enacting and amending laws for autonomy, decentralization and balanced development, and legal, tax and accounting advice for members of the Korea Regional Journalists Club.

“Legal information is the social foundation that protects citizens’ rights,” said Kim Kuk-il, CEO of Daeryun Law Firm (Law), adding, “By combining Daeryun Law Firm (Law) Limited’s global mega law firm system with the network of the Korea Local Journalists Club (KLJC), we will contribute to bridging regional gaps and ensuring that anyone can receive professional help.”

Lee Ki-dong, president of the Korea Regional Journalists Club, gave meaning to this, saying, “We have created a decisive turning point in which local media can go beyond simply delivering news and provide legal information that is closely related to the daily lives of residents.”

In the future, both organizations plan to hold quarterly planning meetings to select regionally tailored topics and sequentially expand content such as conflict case explanations, lifestyle Q&A, online and offline lectures, and seminars.

Through this, we plan to continue to expand our legal service contacts with the local community beyond simple information delivery, and strengthen our cooperative relationship with the common goal of establishing ‘an environment where everyone can receive high-quality legal services fairly.’

Meanwhile, Daeryun Law Firm (Liuhan), founded in 2016, has established a ‘global mega law firm’ model that connects 41 branch offices across the country into a single integrated system centered on its headquarters in Seoul.

The Korea Local Journalists Club (KLJC) is a non-profit media organization launched in July 2012, and its members include senior reporters working at 42 regional daily newspapers across the country.
