A, a woman in her 60s living in Ulsan, recently requested assistance for her mother, who is suffering from dementia, saying that her daily life is being controlled by her older brother, B. According to Mr. A, Mr. B is known to have imprisoned his mother by removing the rice cooker and locking the door. Accordingly, when Mr. A tried to move his mother's residence, Mr. B arbitrarily transferred his mother to a nursing hospital. Mr. A requested help from the police to find the nursing hospital where his mother was transferred, but did not receive help in locating her location due to a “family dispute.” Accordingly, Mr. A referred the case to this center. Accordingly, a list of nursing hospitals was quickly constructed using public data and medical institution registration information in the Ulsan and Busan areas, and primary filtering was performed based on objective indicators such as hospital bed size and medical treatment. Next, the subject's past movement history and health status were comprehensively analyzed to establish multiple hypotheses such as 'accessible distance', 'receiving environment', and 'point of hospitalization', and hospitals with a high probability of actual hospitalization were compressed step by step. As a result of organically combining these scattered clues, the hospital where the mother was staying was finally identified within just one hour of receiving the request. Mr. A, who confirmed his mother's survival and location, said that he was heartbroken because he was worried about how his mother would fare as she was old and unable to do anything for herself. He was at a loss because he could not get help even when he reported it to the police, but he was heartbroken, saying that he was able to find her quickly. This case shows that the role of private legal services in domestic and civil disputes is expanding beyond court arguments to identifying the substance of the case and resolving the crisis. It is a similar trend to large English-speaking law firms operating their own investigation teams from the beginning of a case to secure key information. In cases such as domestic affairs where it is difficult for investigative agencies to intervene immediately, quick confirmation of the facts is the most important step in resolving the problem. In the future, online investigation (OSINT) know-how and rapid on-site response capabilities are expected to play a big role in redressing clients' rights.

Briefings such as roadmap for reducing actual working hours and implementation of the Yellow Envelope Act Sharing global company-centered compensation trends and HR strategies Daeryun Law Firm successfully completed a seminar with the theme of ‘2026 Labor Policy Change Briefing and Foreign Company HR Trends and Compensation Strategies’. Daeryun announced on the 20th that it held a seminar jointly with the Korea Foreign Companies Association (KOFA) at Daeryun’s main office in Park One, Yeouido, Seoul on the 19th. This event is in line with the recent labor policy environment. It was designed to examine changes and the personnel and compensation strategies of global companies. Foreign company HR managers and corporate legal affairs officials attended and showed great interest in the contents of the seminar. The seminar consisted of two sessions. In the first session, Ko Seong-ho, Vice President of Air Lucid Korea, gave a presentation on the topic of ‘Salary increase rate outlook and global corporate compensation trends.’ Vice President Go emphasized the flow of compensation strategies and changes in the human resource management environment of global companies and explained why the overall corporate compensation system needs to be redesigned. In the second session, Attorney Bang In-tae and Daeryun gave a presentation on the topic of ‘2026 Labor Policy Changes.’ Attorney Bang conducted an in-depth analysis of the ‘Roadmap for Reduction of Actual Working Hours’ and ‘Major Changes in Employment and Labor Policy’ into two parts. In the first part of the presentation, he explained in detail the practical changes that the ‘Roadmap for Reduction of Actual Working Hours’ will bring to corporate sites. Attorney Bang mentioned the government's goal of reducing actual working hours to 1,708 hours, the OECD average, by 2030, and emphasized that companies should reexamine their actual working hour recording and management systems in preparation for the planning and supervision of comprehensive wage abuse that has been in effect since the end of February. In Part 2, under the theme of 'Major changes in employment and labor policies in 2026,' he analyzed what future impact it will have on the personnel system and overall labor-management relations. Attorney Bang first explained the work-family balance policy, which has been in effect since January of this year, including support for the 10 o'clock attendance system during the childcare period and an increase in subsidy for substitute workers. He then mentioned the need to reorganize the wage system following the application of the minimum wage this year. In particular, attendees showed great interest in an in-depth analysis of the revised labor union law that went into effect in March. Attorney Bang said, “The key is to change the user-defined regulations in which the employer is viewed as an employer when he or she is able to control and determine working conditions in a practical and specific way even if he or she is not a party to the labor contract. As the negotiation structure between primary and subcontractors expands, the company’s labor risk management system needs to be redesigned from the beginning.” Kim Kook-il, CEO of Daeryun Management, said, “Labor policy changes are expanding to a level that affects the overall corporate management,” and added, “This seminar will help HR managers accurately understand the policy flow and establish practical response strategies.” “I hope it will be helpful,” he said. Meanwhile, Daeryun is supporting global companies and foreign companies seeking to enter the domestic market with ▲ employment contract review ▲ employment structure reform ▲ collective agreement ▲ response to labor disputes, etc. We also operate field-based advisory projects in cooperation with professional organizations.

Corporation: “Workers who drove and worked after being determined to be disabled…doesn’t mean they lost 100% of their labor power.” The lowering court said, “It’s just a matter of circumstances after the disposition…I can’t see that there was a flaw in the decision at the time.” The court ruled that it was illegal to revoke an existing decision that was validly established based only on circumstances that occurred after the administrative disposition was issued. The Ulsan District Court was the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed by A, a man in his 60s, against the Korea Workers’ Compensation and Welfare Service in January to cancel the disability rating decision. A favorable decision was made. Mr. A suffered a fall accident while working in 2006 and was diagnosed with spinal cord damage and paralysis of the lower extremities. Afterwards, in 2008, he was judged to have a disability level 2, and the same grade was maintained during a re-examination six years later in 2014. The problem arose seven years later when Mr. A was once again readjusted to a disability grade. This is because the corporation canceled the existing disability level of level 2 and downgraded it to level 3. The corporation took issue with the fact that Mr. A passed the driver's license aptitude test after being reexamined in 2014, drove on his own, and even got a job for a certain period of time. This is because the level 2 decision, which means 100% labor loss rate, is inappropriate because the worker is actually able to work. In response, Mr. A protested, saying that the corporation canceled the existing disposition without any legal basis. In addition, an administrative lawsuit was filed, arguing that since the patient still requires frequent nursing care, the grade should be maintained at level 2 instead of level 3. The court ruled in Mr. A's favor. First, the court explained, “If there is a defect in the administrative act, it can be canceled even if there is no separate legal basis.” However, “the passing of the driver's license aptitude test and temporary employment presented by the defendant are all circumstances that occurred after the disposition of the disability grade, so it is difficult to acknowledge that Mr. He added, “There is no objective data to show that the decision on the state of disability at the time of the initial decision and trial was wrong.” Attorney Hwang Gyu-hwa of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, said, “According to the Supreme Court, the reason for the cancellation of an administrative action refers to a defect that existed at the time the relevant disposition was made.” explained.

This is a bag I bought, so can’t I change it however I want? At first glance, it may seem like an obvious right, but there is a good reason why this question went all the way to the Supreme Court. As the 'reform' market, which involves transforming luxury bags into wallets or other forms, has grown, brand companies have taken legal action, claiming trademark infringement. Last February, the Supreme Court overturned the original ruling in a trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Louis Vuitton against a reformer and sent the case back to the Patent Court. Previously, the first and second trials acknowledged liability for damages, saying that the act of producing reformed products using Louis Vuitton bag fabric constituted trademark infringement. The court cited the fact that refurbished products are 'products' with independent exchange value, such as those traded in the second-hand market, and that there is a possibility that consumers may mistake the source for a Louis Vuitton product. However, the Supreme Court made a different decision. The Supreme Court ruled that if the owner of a luxury bag requested remodeling for personal use, and the repairer transformed and processed it and returned it to the owner, it did not constitute “use of a trademark” under the Trademark Act and therefore did not constitute infringement of trademark rights. Since the core function of trademark rights is to prevent consumers from being confused about the source of the product, if the reformed product is not distributed in the market and is limited to personal use, it is difficult to say that that function has been infringed. In particular, it has been made clear that the burden of proof for these ‘special circumstances’ lies with the trademark owner claiming trademark infringement. It is difficult to recognize infringement simply by the fact that a product with a trademark has been modified, and the brand company must directly collect and prove in detail whether the reformed product was actually produced and distributed like a commercial product in the market. Considering the purpose of this ruling, the reform industry in the future must make it clear that the service it provides is ‘repair and modification for personal use.’ Keeping a record of the fact that the design or production method was decided based on the customer's request also helps prevent disputes. In addition, displaying reformed products like products or promoting them in the form of sale must be approached cautiously as there is a risk of dispute. Meanwhile, brand companies responsible for proving trademark infringement must specifically check and secure evidence to determine whether reformed products are repeatedly produced in a certain form beyond simple repair and whether the compensation received by the reforming industry exceeds the normal repair cost. Based on this, it is necessary to more selectively inspect and design the company's response strategy. At this time, rather than comprehensively restricting the entire reform market, it is more realistic to focus response capabilities on cases where reformed products are at risk of being mistaken for official products or are distributed like products through online platforms. In particular, some global luxury brands have already operated official repair centers or certification services and have directly managed parts and repair processes. In the future, the scope of allowable repairs and modifications must be made clearer, and separate management standards must be established for areas that may cause consumer misunderstanding during the online and offline distribution process. In the end, trademark protection is a matter of proactive management, not post-dispute response. Here, as the scope of the reform service, judgment of marketability, use of trademark, etc. are areas that involve legal judgment, it is most important to check the standards and prepare a response strategy through expert advice from the early stage. As the luxury goods and reform markets grow, the structure of disputes becomes more complex. This is why a management system established in advance is ahead of litigation.[View full article] Luxury product ‘reform’ debate...

Daeryun Law Firm, which has recently strengthened cooperation with law firms in the United States and major Asian countries, announced on the 18th that it had signed a strategic business agreement (MOU) with Tahota Law Office, a large Chinese law firm. This partnership was promoted to help companies from both countries advance overseas and improve the quality of global comprehensive legal services. Tahota Law Firm, which opened in 2000, is currently one of the largest law firms in China with over 4,000 lawyers. Under the banner of ‘connecting the world with China at the center,’ it is a place with global influence by establishing a network in 36 major hubs around the world, including Washington, D.C., Sydney, Australia, and Bangkok, Thailand. At the agreement ceremony held at Daeryun’s main office in Yeouido, Seoul on the 12th, CEO Dong-il Park, director Ye-seom Lee, attorney Gyeong-won Yoon, and attorney Jong-soo Shin attended the agreement ceremony held at Daeryun’s main office in Yeouido, Seoul on the 12th. On the Tahota side, a large number of key executives, including Jeong Soo-tae, head of law firm headquarters (currently vice-president of the Chinese Bar Association), Harbin representative Jang Chun-kwang, and Chongqing representative Goh Liang, attended and showed great interest in the Korean market. Starting with this agreement, the two companies plan to closely cooperate in various fields such as corporate legal advice and investment/M&A, joint performance of international disputes and cross-border litigation, intellectual property protection, visas and immigration. In particular, Daeryun decided to help Tahota Law Firm successfully advance into the Korean market based on the practical know-how it has accumulated so far, while sharing its expertise through human exchanges and joint seminars. Commenting on this agreement, Soo-Tae Jeong, CEO of Tahota Headquarters, said, "As the old Chinese saying goes, 'As long as you are far away, you are like neighbors,' we are happy to be able to plan the future with Daeryun, which has established a solid presence in Korea," and expressed its commitment to providing professional cross-border legal services. Daeryun Park said. The CEO also emphasized, "The fact that China's top law firm chose Daeryun as a partner is a result of recognition of our expertise and potential," and added, "Using this agreement as a stepping stone, we will go beyond Asia and become a global comprehensive law firm."

On the 12th of last month, the Financial Services Commission and the Korea Exchange announced a delisting reform plan to quickly and strictly eliminate insolvent companies. According to the exchange's simulation, the number of companies subject to KOSDAQ delisting this year is expected to increase significantly from around 50 companies originally expected to around 150 companies. As financial authorities' efforts to improve the market structure become fiercer, it is time for listed companies to face the impact this reform plan will have on their future survival and seek survival strategies. The most noteworthy change is the new requirement for delisting of 'coin stocks (stock price less than 1,000 won)' that will be established in July. If the stock price falls below 1,000 won for 30 consecutive trading days, it is first designated as a managed stock. The problem comes after that. If the price remains below 1,000 won for 45 consecutive trading days within 90 trading days after designation as a managed stock, it will be subject to final delisting review. This suggests that even if a company has normal business activities, it can be kicked out of the market at any time if it neglects stock price management. The outward-looking evaluation standards also become harsher. Starting in July of this year, the market capitalization standard for KOSDAQ-listed companies will be raised from 15 billion won to 20 billion won, and it is scheduled to be significantly strengthened to 30 billion won in January next year. What is more critical is that the ‘maximum improvement period’ given to a company in the event of delisting is shortened from 1.5 years to 1 year. Even the physical golden time for a company at risk of trading suspension to normalize its management has been greatly reduced. The standards for internal soundness and compliance have also become stricter. Previously, only complete capital erosion as of the end of the fiscal year was a requirement for delisting, but in the future, complete capital erosion on a 'semi-annual basis' will also be newly added as a substantive review requirement. The standards for expulsion for violations of public disclosure have also been significantly strengthened. Previously, in order to be eligible for listing eligibility, a company had to accumulate 15 penalty points over the past year, but now, if it accumulates only 10 points, it will be immediately put on the review board. Even a single serious and intentional violation can result in immediate expulsion. This is why detailed risk management by finance departments and public disclosure officers has become more important than ever. In the face of strengthening regulations in all directions, companies with low stock prices are considering stock mergers to increase unit prices. However, unreasonable mergers without improving fundamentals can actually be toxic, and if the stock price does not reach par value even after the merger, it is still subject to exit requirements. In the end, it is impossible to avoid the tight network of exchanges with tricks or short-term stopgap measures. Above all, the key to maintaining listing is ‘preemptive risk management.’ Available financial resources must be inspected in line with the changed requirements, and the internal control system must be thoroughly reorganized to prevent omission of disclosure. Preparing a detailed 'management improvement plan' that can logically persuade the exchange and following an objective explanation process is the most certain survival solution for listed companies to survive in this unprecedented wind of exits.

A daycare teacher who was handed over to the prosecution for excessive disciplinary action against a child was acquitted. According to the legal community on the 18th, the Chuncheon District Prosecutors' Office decided not to indict Ms. A, a woman in her 30s who was sent on the 26th of last month for violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes. In November of last year, Ms. A subdued a student who was fighting with a friend by hugging his torso and urinating. He was accused of committing child abuse, such as ignoring the child's words. The parents filed a complaint, saying that Mr. A was excessive in disciplining the child and that even though the child urinated on his clothes, he did not immediately change his clothes and made him apologize first, thereby causing shame. Mr. A denied the charges. The child was said to have been disciplining the child to prevent this, as he was behaving aggressively, such as badmouthing other friends and trying to throw toys at him. In addition, the child urinated. It seemed like he was trying to avoid a difficult situation with an excuse, so he insisted that he apologize first and then change his clothes. In addition, he emphasized that the discipline was very brief and that if it had been an excessive action that crossed the line, fellow teachers around him would have stopped him immediately. The prosecution believed that Mr. A's charges were not recognized. The prosecution said, "It cannot be said that it was the right attitude to control the child victim in the name of discipline and fail to immediately change his clothes, but the need for discipline for the child at the time was not recognized." He said, "The suspect's claim is credible when we see that the victim child also tried to avoid the disciplinary situation by saying 'I will pee' rather than complaining that he wanted to go to the bathroom." He continued, "The suspect did not commit any other acts of abuse, and there is also a precedent that acts similar to the relevant disciplinary law do not constitute abuse. After the situation was over, follow-up measures were clearly taken, such as calming the child down for a nap and informing the parents of the situation." He added. Lee Ji-yeon, a lawyer at Daeryun Law Firm who represented Mr. A, explained, "Even if it is inevitable to control a child with aggressive tendencies and prevent him or her from moving, it cannot be considered abuse if there is no intention to harass him." He added, "Mr. A's actions were also an inevitable measure for proper discipline, and he was able to be acquitted by carefully proving the follow-up measures after the situation ended." #IncidentAccident #Discipline #Daycare teacher #Childabuse #Not guilty Shin Min-ji (sourminjee@ikbc.co.kr)[View full article] Controversy over 'suppressing a child and delaying urination'...

Demand for understanding the US federal priority principle and QMSR and integrated legal risk management The dawn of regulatory science innovation in 2026 The Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's allocation of 11.4 billion won in the budget for ‘Food and Drug Regulatory Science Innovation Support’ in 2026 means that the domestic AI-based medical device and digital therapeutic device (DTx) industry has been promoted to a national strategic export item. This large-scale budget investment goes beyond simple financial support and contains a strong policy will to standardize the technical effectiveness of domestic companies in line with international legal standards. This heralds a major transformation of the industry. Now, companies must design a sophisticated legal roadmap that takes into account everything from the early stages of technology development to final licensing and health insurance fee registration. This will soon become a core competency directly related to survival in the global market. Regulatory response based on technical understanding Licensing of digital healthcare devices is fundamentally different from existing hardware-centered medical device screening. The process of proving the effectiveness of the algorithm and the continuous reliability of the data is essential. Through my expertise as a pharmacist, practical experience at a global pharmaceutical company, and public service experience at the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, I have experienced the entire process of innovative technology going through to settle in the market. Regulatory authorities focus on evaluating how the technology ensures ‘predictable safety’ within the current legal system rather than the innovation itself. Ultimately, the core of regulatory science is to explain complex scientific evidence in the language of laws and norms that authorities can accept. Translating technology into the language of law determines the success or failure of licensing. Legal seat belt for entering the U.S. market. The legal concept that companies targeting the U.S. market must understand is the principle of ‘Federal Preemption.’ The U.S. Supreme Court's Riegel v. Medtronic, Inc (2008) case presents important implications for medical device companies. At the time, the court ruled that patients can be restricted from filing product liability lawsuits based on state law for medical devices that have passed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) premarket approval (PMA) process. This shows that FDA approval goes beyond simple market entry permission and can be a legal shield that protects companies from the risk of large-scale civil litigation in the United States. Therefore, faithfully complying with the Quality System Regulation (QMSR), which will be fully implemented from 2026, is both a regulatory response and at the same time the strongest litigation defense strategy. Expansion of cyber security and product liability With the proliferation of software-based medical devices, security defects have emerged as a new product liability issue. Global regulatory authorities and courts tend to interpret security flaws in software medical devices not as simple technical errors but as serious manufacturing errors directly related to patient life. The FDA mandates the submission of a software bill of materials (SBOM) and the establishment of a post-security patch process in the QMSR system. If this is neglected, a chain of legal risks can arise that can lead to not only license cancellation but also violations of the False Claims Act. Companies must apply ‘Security by Design’ from the development stage. At the same time, a documentation system must be established to legally prove the design and management process. Transparency demands and administrative response strategies In Korea, the HIRA is closely examining expenditure reports through advanced data analysis techniques. The level of transparency demanded by companies is continuously increasing. Looking back at past precedents related to the Ministry of Health and Welfare's decision to reduce drug prices or invalidate public notices, companies that failed to logically prove the ‘academic justification’ for providing economic benefits in the early stages of administrative investigations suffered a huge management blow. In particular, digital healthcare companies must integrate and manage data to prevent marketing activities from being mistaken for rebates. When expanding overseas, global compliance standards must be established that simultaneously meet Korea's expenditure report system and the U.S. Physician Payments Sunshine Act. Integrated risk management creates leading companies. The success of the AI ​​and digital healthcare industries is not achieved through technological innovation alone. It must be accompanied by a solid legal defense mechanism to protect the technology and make it sustainable. Regulatory response, quality management, cybersecurity, and transparency should not be separate tasks but integrated into one strategy. We hope that the domestic medical device industry will lead global standards through preemptive regulatory strategies and institutional preparations commensurate with technological innovation.[View full article] “AI medical devices and DTx, legal response capabilities determine global survival” (Shortcut)

Amidst a tectonic shift in the legal profession with the implementation of the court system that allows constitutional appeals in cases of dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court's ruling, Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 17th that it has launched the 'Court Judge Response Task Force (TF)'. The Court Member TF has been staffed with people with experience working at the Constitutional Court who are familiar with the Constitutional Court's unique hearing method and legal principles, and experts with extensive experience in handling constitutional appeal cases. The plan is not to simply gather people from the Constitutional Court, but to dig into the unconstitutionality of the ruling from various angles by organically combining the practical sense of veterans who were judges and prosecutors. The team leader is Cho Sang-soo (18th class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), who has accumulated extensive experience in leading investigations by holding major positions such as the Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office and the Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Suncheon Branch of the Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office. Attorney Cho plans to lead the overall constitutional appeal process based on his experience working at the Constitutional Research Center of the Constitutional Court. Attorney Tae-seung Lee (26th class of the Training Institute) was appointed as the deputy team leader in charge of the TF's practical strategy. Attorney Lee served as the head of the Masan branch of the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office and as a constitutional researcher at the Constitutional Court, and is evaluated as having both high-level investigative command capabilities and constitutional insight. Attorney Lee Jun-hee (28th class of the Training Institute), who was a judge, also joined. Attorney Lee, who was dispatched to the Constitutional Court while working at the Seoul High Court and learned related work, plans to focus his core competencies on identifying unconstitutional elements of existing rulings and reflecting them in litigation strategies. In addition, Jeon Hyo-cheol (6 cases), Kim Young-min (8 cases), Kim Dong-jin (9 cases), and Jeong Jun-ki (9 cases), who have experience working at the Constitutional Court and handling related cases, were also named to the task force. Daeryun is expected to demonstrate professional response capabilities encompassing the entire court adjudication process, from initial factual analysis to derivation of constitutional issues. The TF collaborates with professional groups (criminal, civil, and administrative) within the corporation to analyze existing litigation records from various angles. We plan to focus on finding constitutional issues overlooked during the trial and pointing out contradictions in the facts to prove the unconstitutionality of the ruling. In particular, a ‘one-stop rapid response system’ will be operated in line with the characteristics of the system, which requires claims to be filed within 30 days from the date of trial confirmation. As soon as the ruling is received, a former constitutional researcher will conduct an initial review to determine whether it is unconstitutional, and a dedicated team will immediately be formed to begin drafting a request for judgment. The key is to reduce unnecessary administrative procedures and maximize legal perfection within a short period of 30 days. Kim Kuk-il, CEO of Daeryun Management, said, “As the introduction of the court system is a significant change in the judicial system and an opportunity for new rights relief, the assistance of experts familiar with the practice of the Constitutional Court is essential.” He added, “Based on the expertise of the newly launched TF, we will do our best to completely resolve the injustice of our clients and protect their rights.” Reporter Jeong Cheol-wook[View full article] Seoul Shinmun - Daeryun Law Firm launches ‘Court Officer Response TF’ in line with ‘Three Judicial Reform Acts’ (Go here) Aju Economic Daily - [Law Firm Lounge] Daeryun launches 'Tribunal Dedicated Task Force' in line with the three judicial laws (Go here) Gyeonggi Ilbo - Daeryun Law Firm launches ‘Court Judge Response TF’… Forward deployment of experts from the Constitutional Court (Go here)
