Establishment of a law firm’s first ‘Customer Satisfaction Center’… “Improve services until customers are satisfied” Recently, law firms provide a wide range of legal services to individuals and companies beyond the role of representing legal disputes. The scope and role are expanding, including legal advice and consultation, as well as the preparation and review of necessary documents such as litigation, arbitration, and contracts. Daeryun Law Firm, which celebrates its 9th anniversary this year, has shown rapid growth and has established itself as an emerging powerhouse in the domestic legal market. CEO Kook-il Kim, who met at Daeryun Law Firm's Seoul headquarters branch office in Yeouido, Seoul on the morning of the 9th, said, "The motto of 'Improve service until customers are satisfied' has been the driving force behind Daeryun's growth." It started. CEO Kim emphasized the importance of ‘customer-centered legal services.’ He emphasized, "We do our best in every case, but we are not perfect either, so there are customers who are disappointed with Daeryun's service. However, to avoid repeating the same mistake, we immediately improved the service until the customer was satisfied. By expanding these cases to the entire system, we created a system to prevent the same disappointment from repeating again." In addition to customer-centered service, another strength of Daeryun is 'challenge'. The ‘three-lawyer team system’ was the first step in that challenge. At that time, it was common in the law firm industry for one lawyer to handle only one client's case, so there were many voices of concern. It was also unfamiliar to lawyers who were not used to collaboration. CEO Kim said, “Change was necessary because multitaskers, where one lawyer takes charge of all cases, had clear limitations both physically and in terms of expertise,” and added, “There were gaps in the legal services provided by each lawyer, but we considered it as a process to provide legal services of the same quality nationwide, maintaining the strengths and supplementing the weaknesses.” Daeryun established the ‘One Firm’ system from this period. All cases received from across the country are collectively managed by the main office, and the case allocation system has been reorganized to increase professionalism by assigning lawyers with the most appropriate skills to the case. And the most important part of this process was, of course, ‘customer satisfaction.’ This was the reason why it was the first large law firm to establish a ‘Customer Satisfaction Center’. CEO Kim said, “Through the Customer Satisfaction Center, I received detailed feedback on the legal services provided by Daeryun,” and explained, “It is because we cannot find improvements if we do not listen carefully.” Daeryun conducted a customer satisfaction survey on about 3,800 case clients early this year. Regarding the fact that 98% of respondents expressed ‘satisfaction’, CEO Kim said, “We tried to immediately improve most of the negative feedback received through the Customer Satisfaction Center.” CEO Kim explained, “Most clients feel a great burden just by being investigated by an investigative agency or caught up in a lawsuit.” He added, “It is also important to relieve clients’ anxiety by disclosing the details of the case handling process.” Daeryun last month aimed to ‘achieve 100% customer satisfaction.’ The Customer Satisfaction Center was expanded to the ‘Customer Management Center’. While the Customer Satisfaction Center focused on customers’ ‘after-action opinions’, the Customer Management Center plans to quickly listen to the voices of clients whose cases are in progress. In addition, in order to strengthen communication between lawyers dedicated to each case and clients, we plan to continuously improve the system for customer satisfaction by activating the ‘online communication program’ launched last July. Meanwhile, in the legal community, there has been criticism recently that law firms that take on large quantities of cases while competing for advertisements for branch offices across the country are managing cases poorly. The main basis is the ‘number of applications for legal service damage relief’ filed with the Korea Consumer Agency. Regarding this, CEO Kim said, “The ratio of civil complaints compared to the 20,000 cases in progress at Daeryun is about 0.2%,” and pointed out, “They are lining up only fragmentary civil complaints without any consideration of the total number of cases being handled by each corporation and their ratio.” Lastly, CEO Kim said, “Daeryun has grown by constantly pursuing change centered on customers, so no matter what customers ask, Daeryun responds. “I want to convey that I am satisfied with the already improved service,” he said, adding, “We will constantly change and grow with ‘customers’ at the center by weaving negativity into positivity.” Reporter Cho Hye-jeong (hjcho@kyeonggi.com)[View full article] “Customer feedback, another growth engine for Daeryun”...Kookil Kim, CEO of Daeryun Law Firm [Interview] (Shortcut)

The return schedule of about 300 Koreans detained in a crackdown by U.S. immigration authorities was postponed due to circumstances on the U.S. side. The specific reason for the delay in the schedule is unknown, but delays in administrative procedures on the U.S. side, the manner in which detainees leave the country, and the postponement of the Foreign Minister's meeting are cited as possible reasons. On the 10th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced in a press notice, "It has become difficult for our nationals detained in the U.S. state of Georgia to depart on the 10th local time due to circumstances on the U.S. side," and "we are maintaining discussions with the U.S. to ensure departure as soon as possible." However, no specific reason or expected schedule for the delay was mentioned. It was reported that the Koreans detained in the U.S. state of Georgia were initially released around 4-5 a.m. on the 10th (local time) and then departed Atlanta International Airport via a Korean Air charter flight around 2:30 p.m. on the same day and arrived at Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 11th (Korean time). The Korean Air charter flight departed from Incheon International Airport to Atlanta on the morning of the 10th. However, the return schedule of the detainees was suddenly postponed about 10 hours before the expected departure time from the United States. Some believe that the reason for the delay may be that the release of Korean detainees was delayed due to the incomplete administrative procedures such as visa investigation and confirmation procedures by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Kim Ji-sun, CEO of Daeyang Immigration Corporation, said on the premise that "it is only an expectation and an estimate" and that "there are administrative procedures for voluntary departure, and for this, permission from a judge is required in the United States as well." He went on to point out, “In principle, you have to spend money to do this (departure procedures) and you may have to pay a deposit to the court,” and “From the U.S. perspective, there is no need to rush, and the U.S. administrative procedures themselves are not fast.” There is also speculation that the law enforcement practices of immigration authorities, such as whether to tie up detainees during escort procedures within U.S. territory, may have become an obstacle to negotiations. Previously, Kim Yong-beom, head of the Presidential Office's policy office, said on the 9th that negotiations were underway regarding transportation between the detention site and the Atlanta airport. Some raise the possibility that negotiations between South Korea and the United States regarding the mode of departure of Korean detainees may not have been completed. After consultation with the United States, the government planned to return Korean detainees en masse in the form of 'voluntary departure'. In this regard, the release of detainees may have been disrupted due to lack of smooth negotiations with the United States. Mia Kim, a U.S. attorney at the Daeryun Law Firm, said, "I believe there will be a difference from the Korean government's position in that the U.S. cannot uniformly apply (voluntary departure method) because there are some (among the detainees) who are subject to deportation." Secretary of Homeland Security Christie Norm, who oversees U.S. immigration policy, said on the 8th that those detained in the Georgia crackdown "will be deported." There is also speculation that the one-day delay in the meeting between Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is visiting the United States, may have affected the return schedule. According to a Ministry of Foreign Affairs official, Minister Cho, who arrived in Washington DC on the night of the 8th (local time), originally planned to meet with Secretary Rubio on the 9th to demand a prompt response from the US to resolve this situation, legislation to establish a new employment visa (E-4) exclusively for Koreans, and expansion of the quota for professional employment visas (H-1B), but the meeting between the two ministers was delayed by a day. However, there is a view that the postponement of the schedule may have been because Secretary Rubio had to respond due to the Israeli military's airstrike on Qatar. Meanwhile, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 10th, Minister Cho held a meeting with Korean business representatives in Washington D.C. on the 9th and said, "The government is making every effort to quickly and safely return our citizens detained in Georgia and to prevent them from being disadvantaged when they re-enter the United States in the future." Representatives of companies such as LG and Hyundai Motors who attended the meeting requested the government's efforts to establish a separate visa (E-4 visa) quota for Korean professionals and increase the approval rate for visas (E-2 visas) for employees of companies investing in the United States.

Afterwards, he worked as a professor at the Legal Research and Training Institute and worked hard to cultivate younger students, and finally retired as the second chief prosecutor of the Busan District Prosecutors' Office in 2015.

After the recent arrest and detention of about 300 Korean workers at a battery factory construction site in Georgia, the U.S., an emergency has been put in the overseas expansion of companies. As corporate management risks due to policy changes such as the U.S. visa screening requirements and strengthened crackdown on illegal stays have become a reality, Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 11th that it has strengthened its advisory for global companies, focusing on immigration and overseas investment groups. Inquiries related to law firms in charge of immigration and visa work are pouring in, and the industry has a stable workforce. Interest in operation and ensuring legal stay is increasing. Large domestic law firms are also strengthening their capabilities, focusing on groups that handle international affairs such as immigration. Daeryun, which established local corporations in New York and Washington D.C., utilizes its local network to support ▲establishment and investment of domestic companies in the U.S. ▲checking expatriate visa applications ▲advising on immigration law and permanent residency acquisition. In particular, we are focusing on preventing and managing labor law risks that may arise during the process of dispatching human resources at home and abroad. A local company official said, "There are quite a few cases where projects are delayed or contracts are canceled in the actual field because companies are unable to obtain appropriate visas. Since visas must be applied appropriately according to the size of the company and the characteristics of each industry, it seems inevitable that dependence on law firms will increase." Experts say that with this incident as an opportunity, Korean companies need to have a more systematic legal response structure. Point out. A lawyer specializing in immigration law explained, “Not only is the U.S. visa system complex, but the issuance process is also difficult, so it seems that companies have been using short-term business visas (B1) or visa-free Electronic Travel Authorization (ESTA),” adding, “This leads to issues with residency qualifications, putting them at risk of deportation or punishment in the future.” Eunhye Lee (zhses3@joseilbo.com)[View full article] In response to the strengthening of US visa regulations...

These are the chief prosecutors, New trends in the lawyer market, starting with the role of lawyers who served as chief judges, great wheel ‘All members of the team attended the trial’ He spoke frankly about the system, etc..Below is a Q&A with the lawyers.-There is often a preconceived notion that highly experienced lawyers only post their names or give advice behind the scenes.. If there is a reason to be deeply involved in the incident directly at the scene.▲Jinwon Kim(Jin below): In the past, the so-called ‘All halls’They just put their name on it, It was a practice in some cases for junior lawyers to carry out actual litigation.. Now you can never do that because all legal information and lawyers are transparently disclosed.. Because a trusting relationship with a client is created through the process of recording and reviewing directly, I always go to the field..▲Lee Il-kwon(Below this): Investigations and trials are highly fluid., Accidental situations also occur frequently.. In these situations, lawyers must be able to judge and make decisions in the moment.. In my case, since I have more relevant experience, the likelihood of being able to use my reflexes is relatively high.. Many of Daeryun's former lawyers are investigating agencies., This is also the reason why I practice in fields such as courts.. Client trust and satisfaction can also be said to be high..▲Nakhyung Kim(Kim below) : Most clients who entrust their cases to lawyers are bound to feel a considerable burden of costs..

However, since the introduction of law schools, tens of thousands of people are competing.. The practice of giving honor to all officials is no longer found., Clients are well aware of the reality in the legal profession that they cannot get the results they want by relying on courtesy..

[Interview] American lawyer Mia Kim, Daeryun Law Firm As more than 300 Korean workers were recently detained in the United States on charges of illegal stay, changes in immigration and visa policies are emerging as important management risks for companies expanding overseas. For Korean companies turning to the global market, stable human resources management and compliance with local laws are becoming important survival tasks. On the 10th, U.S. lawyer Mia Kim of Daeryun Law Firm found the root cause of this situation to be the 'Trump administration's policy of strengthening the crackdown on illegal immigrants.' He pointed out the reality that issuing legal work visas such as professional work visas (H-1B) and expatriate visas (L1·E2) is very difficult and takes a long time. Because of this, many short-term workers would have had no choice but to rely on short-term business visas (B1) or Electronic Travel Authorization (ESTA). Attorney Kim said, "Even if you pass the lottery, it takes 3 to 4 months to issue an H-1B visa, and the reality is that it is difficult to issue an L1 or E2 visa because it must meet strict requirements such as proof of expertise." He mentioned the establishment of a new 'Korean-only professional employment visa (E4 visa)' that is being discussed in some quarters. The E4 visa aims to help Korean professionals find legal employment in the United States and improve the investment environment for Korean companies in the United States, but it has not yet been legislated. Attorney Kim predicted, “In the future, multifaceted factors, such as Korea-U.S. relations and the lack of skilled manpower in the U.S., will determine the passage of E4 visas.” Attorney Kim especially emphasized the visa problem of small and medium-sized partners entering the market with large corporations. This is because small and medium-sized businesses with limited manpower and resources are more vulnerable to visa problems and lack the ability to respond to local laws. “Each company has different situations, so suitability for visa requirements may also vary,” he advised. “Uniform applications that do not take this into account can lead to legal risks.” A warning was also added that illegal stay is subject to strict crackdowns, so it is difficult to avoid forced departure or punishment. This incident once again confirmed to companies dreaming of expanding overseas that it is essential to be aware of visa issues and manage risks through thorough legal review.

One of the most acute issues in divorce proceedings is the issue of custody. In cases where there is a fight over custody, it is rather good. This is because it means that the parents at least have the will to raise the child. On the other hand, if you try to avoid childrearing responsibilities by passing them on, you are bound to be in trouble. Custody is not just a battle for rights, but an issue directly related to the life of the child. Division of property or alimony can be settled in money, but custody of a child has a decisive impact on the life of the parents as well as the growth and development of the child, so the judgment must be cautious. So, what standards will the court apply when appointing a custodian? It is often said that ‘women have an advantage when it comes to custody.’ To conclude, half are right and half are wrong. The standard that the court consistently emphasizes is the ‘welfare of the child’, that is, the stable growth and happiness of the child. First of all, the age of the child and the continuity of the childcare environment are important. In the case of preschool children or lower grades of elementary school, the parent who has primarily raised the child is often designated as the custodian. This is why mothers who have lived with their children are often designated as custodians, even if they are somewhat economically disadvantaged. Next, the parents' will and ability to raise children are also important criteria for judgment. Although high income does not mean that you will be granted custody, it is taken into consideration how diligently you are willing to take care of the child and whether your work or life pattern is suitable for raising the child. In this case, even if the child is economically active, if there is an auxiliary caregiver such as a grandparent who can cooperate in raising the child, it is considered positively. The child's will is also respected. In many cases, the court directly confirms the opinion of the child, such as who the child has formed a more stable attachment with and whether he or she is satisfied with his or her current life. In the past, there was a strong tendency to entrust custody to the mother when the child was young, but recent trends show a tendency to place more emphasis on the actual degree of childrearing participation and environment rather than the gender of the parents. The number of cases where fathers who have actively cared for their children are designated as custodians is steadily increasing. This can be said to be a trend that reflects social changes and changes in the division of roles within the family.[View full article] [Expert Contribution] In divorce proceedings and custody battles, does the woman have the advantage?...

Police accused of not sending product for over a year and a half: “The funding method takes several months… It’s hard to believe that the victims didn’t know about it” A man in his 30s who was sued by investors for not shipping the product after receiving board game funding was cleared of charges. On the 11th of last month, the Busan Yeonje Police Station decided not to send the game company representative, Mr. A, who was suspected of fraud. Mr. A was accused of raising about 7.7 million won in funding for four types of board games through the company's website and crowdfunding site between February 2021 and September 2023, then failing to release the product and failing to refund the investment. Investors were promised payment of goods within one year after funding from Mr. A, but when payment was not made and communication was insufficient, they filed a class action lawsuit. Mr. A denied the charges. Although payment for the product was delayed, they claimed that they did not raise funds without the intention or ability to make the product in the first place. Mr. A explained, “We started actual production with the funding, but we were unable to produce it due to overseas factories being shut down due to COVID-19. Even though we produced it later, delivery was delayed due to product quality issues.” The police determined that Mr. A was not suspected of fraud. A police official explained, “Usually, the production of products through crowdfunding takes several months or more,” and “Considering that the plaintiffs reported damage nearly three years after the start of funding, it is difficult to say that they were not aware of the characteristics of the funding purchase method.” He added, “Even apart from liability for civil damages due to delayed delivery, it is difficult to admit that there was an act of deception.” Attorney Lee Il-kwon of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, said, “For a fraud to be established, it must be proven that the suspect did not have the intention or ability to produce the product at the time of the contract, that is, the intention of deception.” He added, “Mr. “We faithfully explained our efforts, and through this, we were able to receive recognition that the delay in product delivery and refund was not intentional.” Digital Content Team[View full article] Board game ‘not delivered, non-refundable’ after receiving funding investment… Game company CEO ‘Bulsongchi’ (link)
