Introducing the law firms’ Yellow Envelope Law Task Force. Daeryun Law Firm formed a task force (TF) last month to present practical countermeasures to corporate clients from the beginning of the implementation of the so-called Yellow Envelope Act (Amendment to Articles 2 and 3 of the Labor Union Act). We focus on providing comprehensive legal support encompassing customized personnel systems and overall labor-management relations to help corporate customers develop predictable management strategies and minimize unnecessary disputes. The TF is headed by In-Tae Bang (Training Institute 41st class), an attorney with extensive experience in human resources, labor, industrial accident consulting, and litigation representation. Attorney Jeong Sang-hyeok (bar exam taken 10 times) specializes in preventing corporate risks based on his experience as a member of the deliberation and investigation committee on workplace bullying, sexual harassment, and human rights violations. Attorney Chang-min Jeong (12 cases) has handled a number of corporate-related civil and industrial accident cases. Labor attorney Nam Seo-hye, who has provided labor consulting in the IT, service, manufacturing, distribution, and hospitals and clinics fields, and labor attorney Yang Hee-chun, who has been in charge of responding to Labor Office and Labor Relations Commission cases and workplace harassment investigations, are also adding their expertise to the TF. The TF seeks to achieve the two axes of minimizing corporate legal risks and stabilizing labor-management relations at the same time. To this end, we are preparing services such as △a response manual for each key issue of the Yellow Envelope Act △risk diagnosis and simulation for each company △establishing a response system in case of a dispute △operating an in-house training program. In particular, as the characteristics of companies differ depending on the industry and size, TF's biggest differentiation is that it provides customized solutions for companies rather than uniform advice. The TF holds regular seminars and webinars to inform corporate officials, including personnel and labor managers, of the main contents of the amendment and expected legal risks. Recently, a 'Yellow Envelope Law Response Strategy Seminar' was held at the Seoul Headquarters branch office. Regarding the on-site atmosphere felt during this process, Attorney Bang said, "When dealing with corporate clients, most of them feel a great deal of anxiety about 'what to prepare after the law goes into effect.'" He added, "In particular, the human resources and labor teams need a detailed roadmap as they need to prepare internal regulations, labor-management negotiation strategies, and risk response scenarios in line with changes in the system." We plan to predict and analyze cases and, based on this, build a response model that companies can use immediately in the field. We are also preparing practical guidelines and casebooks that companies can use on their own. Attorney Bang said, “We will cooperate with the government, academia, labor-management organizations, etc. to provide advice from an objective and balanced perspective,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure that the implementation of the Yellow Envelope Act becomes an opportunity for stable growth for companies.” Reporter Park Seon-woo (closely@bloter.net)[View full article] [Yellow Envelope Law Firm Restaurant] Daeryun, reduces risks and supports stabilization of labor-management relations (link)

“Suspension will be imposed” due to abandonment of re-measurement… 1st trial: “The final decision lies with the driver” Appellate trial: “A driver who is not a legal expert, does not trust the police and ask for a re-measurement… It is an illegal matter” The court ruled that if the driver gave up the re-measurement because the police incorrectly informed him of the administrative disposition during the crackdown on drunk driving, the subsequent disposition should be considered invalid. On the 27th of last month, the 4-3rd Administrative Division of the Seoul High Court filed a lawsuit to cancel the car driver's license cancellation filed by A, a man in his 30s, against the Gyeonggi Province Northern Police Agency chief on the 27th of last month. The appeals court overturned the first trial judgment and ruled in favor of the plaintiff. Mr. A was caught in a drunk driving crackdown in 2023 and had his license revoked the following year. At the time of detection, the blood alcohol concentration was 0.033%, which is the level of license suspension, but the police canceled the license on the grounds that Mr. A had a history of drunk driving. Afterwards, Mr. A filed an administrative judgment, claiming that there was a problem with the measurement process. At the time, I was notified by the police that a relatively light ‘license suspension’ would be imposed, and this is why I did not have blood drawn. Mr. A argued that the cancellation was illegal because he had given up his right to request a re-measurement due to the police officer's provision of incorrect information. However, the police countered that the police officer who controlled the scene at the time clearly informed Mr. A that he had the right to re-measure, and that Mr. A then directly wrote in the relevant documents that he would give up the re-measurement. Furthermore, he emphasized that since the enforcement police officer has no obligation or responsibility to guide legal decisions, the final decision-making rests with Mr. A's own responsibility and judgment. The Central Administrative Appeals Commission, which reviewed the case, dismissed Mr. A's claim. Accordingly, Mr. A filed an administrative lawsuit. The first trial court ruled in favor of the police. The court said, “The police officer was merely notified for convenience that he was expected to receive administrative action equivalent to a suspension,” and added, “It is difficult to say that the police officer has a duty to investigate the driver’s drinking history and guide the expected action, and it cannot be said that the plaintiff was wrongly notified.” Mr. A, who was dissatisfied with this, immediately appealed, and the second trial court ruled in Mr. A’s favor. The appellate court said, “The purpose of establishing the alcohol re-testing procedure is to allow police officials to clearly inform drivers of the legal effects and to enable them to reasonably decide whether to request a re-testing,” and concluded, “If the police incorrectly notified the driver of the disposition and the driver gave up the right to request a re-testing, this is an illegal matter.” At the same time, “As a plaintiff who is not a legal expert, it seems that he decided not to request a re-testing in anticipation of a suspension as notified by the police.” He added, “It is reasonable to consider that the right to request a re-measurement has been waived based on the provision.” Attorney Shin Dong-hoon of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, said, “The suspension and revocation of a driver’s license has a large difference in the degree of disadvantage to the person disposing of it, so in cases like Mr. A who slightly exceed the blood alcohol concentration violation standard, this is important information in deciding on a re-measurement.” He added, “During the trial, the police provided incorrect information about important matters in deciding to exercise the right, and as a result, Mr. “We were able to overturn the first trial result by emphasizing that we had given up,” he explained.

The court has ruled that the state must compensate the families of victims who were victims for being involved in the National Press League during the Korean War. According to the legal community on the 22nd, the Seoul Central District Court on the 28th of last month awarded 167 million won in compensation to the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against the state by three people, including Mr. A, the bereaved family of the victims of the Goseong Press League. It was ruled that payment should be made. Mr. B, the victim of the incident and father of three, including Mr. A, was sacrificed by the police in the Goseong area of Gyeongsangnam-do around July and August 1950 for being involved in the National Press Association. Mr. A applied for investigation into this case in 2021 through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Through this, the Jinhwa Committee confirmed that Mr. B was a victim of the Goseong National Press Association incident last year. Mr. A and others demanded compensation from the government for illegal acts, but the government insisted on the statute of limitations, saying that the period for filing a claim for compensation had passed. The right to claim national compensation must be made within three years from the date the victim or his representative became aware of the damage or harm. However, the court did not accept the government's argument. The court refuted the government's argument and ruled in favor of Mr. A, saying, "If the Fire Protection Committee decides to investigate the truth regarding serious human rights violations or fabricated or suspected cases, the right to claim compensation arises from the date the notice of decision to determine the truth is served." It continued, "The deceased was killed by the defendant's police without going through due process," and "The defendant is responsible for compensating the bereaved family for the mental pain and alimony, etc." This was elaborated. Mr. A's representative, Se-ro Park, an attorney at the Daeryun Law Firm, explained, "Mr. A's side had to go through painful years without knowing the exact circumstances of Mr. B's death, such as the reason or date and time of his death. We were able to get a good result by emphasizing the fact that we were only able to identify the exact damage and perpetrator after receiving the decision to determine the truth."

In recent years, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about great changes throughout our society. In particular, chatbots, generative AI, and legal search and analysis systems have emerged in the legal field, and various law firms, including the one I belong to, are providing self-developed artificial intelligence legal services. Concerns that not only lawyers but also professional occupations such as accountants and tax accountants may be replaced by AI are constantly being raised, and it is true that AI is greatly improving the work efficiency of lawyers through extensive case law research, drafting, law and legal analysis, etc. AI uses vast amounts of data. It is excellent for quickly analyzing, searching for precedents and laws, and deriving certain patterns. Compared to the days when lawyers had to manually flip through dozens of case books to find cases, AI can suggest similar precedents and strategies for resolving cases in a matter of seconds. In addition, it has already established itself as a powerful assistive tool for lawyers in drafting contracts, creating standardized forms, and repetitive legal review tasks. For this reason, some even predict that “simple legal documents will soon be written by AI, and lawyers will gradually become unnecessary.” However, can AI truly replace the role of human lawyers? The legal profession will not be unaffected by AI's counterattack, but the author's conclusion is that it will not be easy to replace human lawyers, given that they still have a role and meaning in existence. The core of a lawyer's role is 'dealing with people.' Among the many tasks a lawyer does, communicating with clients and understanding the client's injustice are more important than writing and submitting a perfect document. In fact, there are many clients who feel relieved and even mentally healed while talking to a lawyer about their unfairness and the frustration of not being able to tell anyone. There are actually lawsuits that AI cannot handle. Among the criminal cases I handled, there was a person who lost both the first and second trials and was considering an appeal. Although I did everything I could as a defense attorney, such as interrogating witnesses intensely in the first and second trials and requesting evidence from other organizations, I lost the case and did not recommend an appeal to my client. On the contrary, considering the Supreme Court precedent and the high dismissal rate of appeals, I honestly said that the chances of winning the case were very low. The first client decided not to file an appeal based on my opinion, but he called me dozens of times three days before the last day of filing the appeal and said he would fight until the end. In the end, the case was lost, but the client expressed his gratitude to the author, saying, “Thank you for fighting hard until the end. I am so relieved that I have now done everything I can.” If it were AI, would it have been able to carry out this incident? According to AI's analysis of vast amounts of information and patterns, this case is a case that cannot possibly be won, so wouldn't it have been prevented from even being attempted? Also, when carrying out a case, there are many cases where you feel that the case is a "living creature." Even if a strategy is drawn up and thorough preparation is made at the time of the initial appointment, there are many cases where completely unexpected facts are revealed, the client decides to withdraw, or the case progresses in a different direction, such as an adjustment. No two cases are completely identical, and even in similar cases, legal evaluations may vary depending on the relationship between the parties, background, etc., and the conclusion may differ from the perspective of fairness depending on the client's situation or the judgment of the court. Cases cannot be resolved through a simple combination of legal information or pattern analysis. Although the client's case is just one of a vast number of cases of the same pattern to AI, it is the only case important enough to swallow up the client's life, and as the lawyer in charge, it is a task to understand the client's fear and injustice, sympathize with it, and defend it with all one's might, so it is necessary to pour the energy transferred to the client beyond mechanical case performance. A lawyer is not a person who simply writes legal documents, but a person who sincerely accepts the client's wishes and solves the problem. It's a person. AI is good at text data, but because it does not fully understand the subtle nuances of human relationships and the meaning of the case between the parties, there is a fundamental limitation of not being able to carry out cases based on various human interactions. Therefore, the correct approach to AI is not “AI replaces lawyers,” but rather “AI assists lawyers.” AI can save lawyers’ time and reduce repetitive tasks, which allows lawyers to use more energy to formulate strategies, make value judgments, and more. You can focus on communicating with your clients. In other words, the development of AI may not lead to the disappearance of lawyers, but may serve as an opportunity to further strengthen their expertise.[View full article] [Monday Column] The role of a lawyer in the era of artificial intelligence (AI) (link)

Court fined for "extreme treatment of children with weak bones and muscles" A daycare teacher who was put on trial for breaking the shin bone of a 30-month-old child was sentenced to a fine. On the 11th, the Wonju branch of the Chuncheon District Court sentenced Mr. A, an assistant teacher at the daycare center, to a fine of 12 million won, who was indicted on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes. Mr. A was in the same class as Mr. B, a daycare student in October last year. When he tried to play along with his friend, he is accused of grabbing B's arm and forcing him to sit down, causing a fracture. At that time, Mr. A lifted his body while holding B's wrists with both hands and pressed him to the floor. As a result, it was confirmed that Mr. B suffered an injury that broke his shin and required about 14 weeks of treatment. Mr. B's side said, "Mr. A cried out in pain, but no action was taken and only other children treated him. He claimed, “Considering the extent of the injuries, Mr. A’s crime can only be seen as an intentional act mixed with emotions.” The court sentenced Mr. A to a fine. The court pointed out, "He caused serious injuries by violently lifting and sitting down a child with weak bones and muscles, causing considerable physical and mental pain to the victim and his parents." However, the court said, "He made a somewhat excessive movement once while trying to discipline the child to stop him from playing, and this only constitutes a relatively minor level of assault. We took into account the fact that the defendant is a first-time offender and the fact that he admits to the crime in this case." It was added. Attorney Gil Se-cheol of Daeryun Law Firm, who was in charge of legal representation for Group B, said, "As an assistant teacher, he must fulfill his duties in his position of protecting and supervising children, but Mr. A injured a child whose bones were not yet fully formed. He emphasized that the child victim is requesting severe punishment." #Court #Childabuse #Daycare #IncidentAccident Park Seok-ho (haitai2000@ikbc.co.kr)[View full article] Daycare teacher who caused a fracture to a 30-month-old child by “grabbing his arm and forcing him to sit down” (link)

Daeryun Law Firm, responding to the demand for inbound and outbound legal advice with a focus on American lawyers, is expanding its scope of activity by strengthening its international work encompassing the expansion of global companies into Korea and the overseas expansion of domestic companies. Daeryun, which is also in the midst of expanding its global network, recently established law firms in New York and Washington D.C., hired local lawyers, and is preparing to open an office. American lawyers Mia Kim and Dong-hoo Son are at the center of this move. Attorney Mia Kim (Washington, D.C.) is an expert in the fields of international import and export transactions, international tax law, U.S. corporation establishment, and U.S. immigration law, and U.S. attorney Dong-hoo Son (New York) has been in charge of various litigation matters, including corporate law, asset management, and real estate investment, at a U.S. law firm for 9 years. In addition, Daeryun is based in Washington, D.C. We are expanding our international business base by recruiting U.S. Attorney Kyle Courtnall to our office and Tal Hirshberg to our New York office. U.S. Attorney Kyle graduated from Georgetown University, Johns Hopkins MBA, and University of Virginia Law School, and worked at the Washington D.C. and Virginia State Prosecutors' Offices and law firms, handling a variety of cases including criminal and immigration law. In addition, based on his experience as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, he is demonstrating his strengths in the international finance and cross-border fields. Tal is an American lawyer. After working for Starbucks Public Affairs and AOL, he worked as a lawyer at Selendy Gay Elsberg PLLC. ;He has solid practical skills based on extensive experience in various international work areas, including civil and criminal cases in New York, as well as international cross-border and immigration law. The two lawyers will work as manager-level attorneys at Daeryun's U.S. office in the future. ; Attorney Kim said, "Daeryun has now gone beyond providing advice in Korea and has entered the stage of securing execution capabilities centered on local corporations," and added, "With the addition of Kyle, an attorney with extensive local experience, our ability to respond to the industry has been further strengthened." Attorney Son also added, "Attorney Tal, who has extensive experience in international affairs in various fields, has joined the New York office," adding, "Tal and I plan to work together as a team to provide intensive support centered on the New York market." Accordingly, based on strengthened corporate-oriented services, we plan to actively support the growing demand for investment, corporate establishment, and various disputes in the global market. The two lawyers agreed that the demand for both 'inbound', where overseas companies enter Korea, and 'outbound', where Korean companies go overseas, are steadily increasing. Attorney Son said, "Overseas companies are making many attempts to enter the Korean market in relation to consumer goods industries such as luxury goods and clothing, while Korean companies are making overseas inroads in the financial industry such as asset management. “It is gradually increasing,” he explained. Attorney Kim added, “Inquiries about domestic companies establishing local corporations in the U.S. have also increased.” ; In particular, Attorney Son said, "Recently, the number of startups and small and medium-sized businesses interested in the so-called 'Flip' has increased significantly." Flip refers to a strategy of establishing an overseas parent company on top of an existing Korean corporation and transferring the shares of the Korean corporation to the overseas parent company. ;Attracting global investment, preparing for overseas IPOs, and easing the tax burden on foreign investors are cited as the purposes of flips. Attorney Son said, "In fact, Daeryun has received many related inquiries. In the case of flips, it is a structure commonly chosen for global investment and exit, but assistance from experts is essential as it requires a thorough preliminary review of tax, foreign exchange regulations, and existing contract issues." In the future, Daeryun will further expand its network in major overseas markets beyond the United States and become a long-term partner of global companies. It is our policy to establish ourselves. Attorney Kim said, “Daeryun has a large number of lawyers who have experience in numerous cases, including the establishment of corporations in various industries and the issuance of residence visas related to this,” and added, “We will do our best to provide strategic and professional legal services to clients around the world.” #Law Firm #Global #USA Shin Min-ji (sourminjee@ikbc.co.kr)[View full article] Daeryun Law Firm expands customized international advisory services for global companies (Click here)

Daeryun Law Firm diagnoses U.S. policy at Korea Medical Device Industry Association seminar "Tariff design from the R&D stage... 'First sale regulation' and 'FTZ' must be used, etc." It is suggested that as U.S. trade policy is threatening domestic medical device price competitiveness, an advanced export strategy utilizing laws and systems is required. At Daeryun Law Firm's 'U.S. Medical Device Market Entry Seminar' held at COEX in Seoul on the 17th and hosted by the Korea Medical Device Industry Association, the U.S. tariff policy was discussed. Solutions to the problem were discussed. Daeryun Law Firm's customs expert Jae-ho Myeong, who was a speaker at the seminar that day, explained, "The new U.S. tariff policy goes beyond simply increasing the tax rate and is evolving to consider the 'nationality' of the product." Commissioner Myeong pointed out the vulnerabilities of the medical device industry with its complex global supply chain, saying, “Apart from the performance of the finished product, the country of origin of the input components is becoming a new trade barrier that hinders exports.” He added, “There may be cases where there is a conflict between the parts list submitted for FDA approval and the proof of origin for customs declaration, so if there is no integrated legal review, we may face greater risk.” Commissioner Myeong proposed ‘preemptive tariff design’ in which legal experts participate from the R&D planning stage as a solution to overcome this double whammy. He emphasized, "The final tariff rate varies depending on which parts are used and which country it is assembled in, so we need to devise a 'tariff diet' strategy that utilizes laws from the beginning of product development." Specifically, ▲product design considering the product classification (HS Code) to which low tax rates are applied ▲use of 'first sale regulations' that report tariffs at the first transaction price excluding intermediate distribution margins ▲bonded area in the United States Strategies such as tariff exemption and deferral plans using ‘foreign trade zones (FTZ)’ were also introduced.[View full article] Medipana - Changing US tariff policy considers ‘nationality’… “‘Preemptive design’ is important” (Shortcut) Wikitree - After crossing the FDA, tariff barriers...

In particular, he showed a strong presence in the inspection field by playing an active role in various difficult cases such as cybercrime investigation into a North Korean hacker organization, illegal receipt of solar power subsidies, and corruption of personnel managers in metropolitan cities. In addition, Attorney Yeon served as the chairman of the 2015 police promotion exam preparation committee.
