Law school graduates leading law firms in their 20s have appeared. They go beyond simply being named as CEO and lead the corporation as general managers. Law school graduates, who were once considered young lawyers, are creating new legal trends by rising to the top of major law firms in their 20s.
At Daeryun Law Firm, the 12th largest law firm in Korea, lawyer Jeong Chan-woo (41, passed the 8th bar exam) took the position of general management representative. He, who had been active as Daeryun's representative attorney, began his term as the head of management on the 22nd of last month.
As of April 30, Daeryun had 137 Korean lawyers. Based on the number of lawyers, it is the 12th largest in the country. As of June 7, it is showing rapid growth, with 158 Korean lawyers.
Daeryun, founded in March 2018 by lawyer Shim Jae-guk (42, 2nd class), handles many cases in the criminal, divorce, and labor fields. It is specialized in the criminal field to the extent of operating a criminal specialty center. It is classified as a network law firm like YK and Roel in that it promotes itself as a single law firm, opens branch offices in major locations across the country, and maintains an organic cooperation system.
Following Attorney Shim Jae-guk, Attorney Jeong Chan-woo, who leads Daeryun, has handled a wide range of cases in the civil and criminal fields, including professional negligence manslaughter, coin fraud, and fraudulent act cancellation lawsuits. He also worked as a criminal public defender at the Supreme Court and the Busan District Court.
Currently, Daeryun has 15 ‘Chief Attorneys’, meaning representative attorneys. Among them, in addition to lawyers Chan-Woo Jeong and Jae-Guk Shim, lawyers Byung-Jun Ko (49, 9th episode) and Park Dong-il (37, 8th episode) also graduated from law school.
