Signed an MOU for business cooperation with Korea Southern Power Company’s Hadong Bit Dream Headquarters

Daeryun Law Firm and Korea Southern Power Company's Hadong Bit Dream Headquarters signed an MOU for business cooperation on December 21, 2023.

The agreement ceremony on this day was attended by officials including Song Gi-in, head of the Hadong Bit Dream Headquarters of Korea Southern Power Corporation, and Kim Kuk-il, chief general counsel of Daeryun Law Firm (Limited), and △ legal advice on first response to serious disasters △ promotion of legal education and seminars related to serious disasters. We decided to cooperate with each other on △sharing information through mutual exchanges △lectures on the Punishment Act for Severe Accidents.

Previously, it was only applied to workplaces with 50 or more employees and workplaces with a construction amount of KRW 5 billion or more. The Serious Accident Punishment Act has been applied to all businesses with 5 or more employees and businesses with less than 5 billion won from January 27, 2024. Prior to expanding the scope of application, the two organizations plan to minimize on-site confusion through active exchanges. In particular, they plan to minimize risks by preventing safety and health-related incidents that may occur to workers while performing work and providing legal advice to quickly resolve problems.

Head of Korea Southern Power's Hadong Bit Dream Headquarters, Song Ki-in, said, "Initial response and response to major disasters are the most important. In addition to initial response to major disasters, we also need advice on other legal issues, so we thought Daeryun Law Firm (Limited), which has expertise in multiple fields, was suitable." He said, "We expect smooth cooperation and active mutual exchange in the process of consultation and education."

Kook-il Kim, CEO of Daeryun Law Firm (Limited), said, "In the first response to a major disaster, a lawyer with expertise must be on hand. “There must be a situation in which we can receive advice on a regular basis and respond immediately,” he said. “Daeryun has many lawyers from field and corporate backgrounds and will provide generous support of human resources to minimize risks related to major disasters and create a safe site.”
