The 10 Principles of Daeryun, Korea's 9th-ranked law firm(※ Based on 2025 National Tax Service VAT filings)

The strengths and strategy that will carry Daeryun Law—which through rapid, extraordinary growth has become both a global mega law firm and Korea's 9th-ranked law firm—beyond the No. 1 position in Korea to leap to the world's No. 1

1. One-Firm principle operating on a matrix system

Daeryun Law is a One-Firm where hundreds of attorneys and experts across the world operate on a matrix system. Within Daeryun's One-Firm system, no case is met with the knowledge of a single attorney alone. Hundreds of specialized attorneys and teams—dedicated to particular areas such as M&A, fair trade, intellectual property (IP), international arbitration, financial regulation, and corporate criminal law—cooperate organically and respond jointly to a single case. For example, when a company undertakes a large-scale merger or acquisition, simply drafting a contract is not the end. Tax issues, HR/labor matters, antitrust review in various jurisdictions (fair trade), and environmental regulations can arise simultaneously. In such cases, Daeryun Law brings together groups and field experts attached to each of our offices around the world to resolve all legal issues facing the client at once. Likewise, when criminal-law risks arise in corporate governance cases, or when real estate disputes emerge regarding corporate land in M&A, groups and field experts attached to our offices worldwide review the matter from multiple angles to address the complex risks bound up in a single issue and strive to deliver the result the client wants.

2. Principle of direct case execution by leading senior partner attorneys and panel-bench attorney teams

At Daeryun Law, groups composed of highly experienced attorneys, along with senior partner attorneys of panel-bench experience, directly lead numerous associate attorneys and personally take responsibility for every case. Noting that clients often find it difficult to identify exactly which specialized area their case falls under, Daeryun has built a structured consultation system that resembles how a primary-care emergency room makes an accurate diagnosis before referring a patient to a specialist at a large hospital. Consulting attorneys playing the role of 'legal emergency physicians' precisely diagnose and classify the specialized area of the case through a first-stage consultation with the client, and based on this assign the case to a specialized attorney with extensive experience in the relevant area. This stands in clear contrast to the false and exaggerated marketing practices of some firms that secure engagements on the names of former judges, prosecutors, or other high-ranking former officials but leave the actual substantive work—drafting and court appearances—to junior attorneys. Daeryun's senior partner attorneys personally handle not only the second-stage in-depth consultation but also case strategy meetings, drafting written submissions, providing legal advice, and appearing in court, while maintaining close communication with the client. Ultimately, from consultation through written work to final execution, everything is connected under the senior partner attorney's responsibility, with associate attorneys and field specialists providing seamless support to resolve cases swiftly and precisely.

3. Principle of deploying multiple senior specialized attorneys on a single case

Just as a general practitioner may handle simple procedures but cannot easily perform highly difficult surgery, legal cases too must be led by specialized attorneys whose abilities have been verified, based on accurate classification and expert diagnosis. For professionals such as lawyers and physicians, hands-on field experience is directly linked to ability. In particular, it is a widely shared understanding in the legal community that the likelihood of steering the result of a legal dispute in a client's favor is proportional to the number of attorneys deployed to the case. Accordingly, Daeryun Law has set internal criteria stricter than the specialist-attorney registration standards of the Korean Bar Association, and considers only those who have built sufficient legal experience and practical expertise to be 'true specialized attorneys' qualified to lead a case. Under this principle, we take it as a basic rule to deploy multiple specialized attorneys rich in experience and know-how to one case, analyzing its nature and difficulty from multiple angles and providing battle-ready solutions.

4. Principle of using the latest AI Daeryun technology at every stage

Daeryun Law applies the latest legal tech and operates an in-house developed 'AI Daeryun', which underpins its case assignment system, a case review system that exhaustively checks every possibility during legal consultation and case progress review, and a strategy simulation system designed to derive the most fitting outcomes. We also actively adopt and utilize AI Daeryun-based contract analysis tools and e-Discovery systems so that due diligence reviews of millions of documents and large-scale precedent research can be processed efficiently. Daeryun's attorneys carry out each stage with greater precision through our in-house AI Daeryun technology across the entire case lifecycle, working to deliver results that satisfy our clients in every case.

5. Principle of system-based collaborative management akin to a global mega law firm

A global mega law firm is a massive organization that handles complex and large-scale legal matters for multinational corporations, financial institutions, and national governments, operating with thorough efficiency, deep expertise, and an overwhelming economy of scale. Like American global mega firms that dominate the world's legal market, Daeryun Law operates around the clock across time zones from offices located in major cities worldwide—New York, Washington D.C., Seoul, Busan, Los Angeles (to be opened), Shanghai (to be opened), and London (to be opened). For example, in global M&A matters, attorneys from offices in three or four countries hold video conferences simultaneously, jointly reviewing each jurisdiction's regulations and policies, analyzing the company's substance, strengths and risks, and building a comprehensive strategy. This becomes a solid legal foundation for seizing the upper hand in cross-border transactions and disputes. In addition, regulatory and policy fluidity in a particular country can be grasped accurately and addressed immediately through local counsel at that country's office.

6. Principle of leveraging vast resources and databases

Through countless cases handled for corporate and individual clients, Daeryun Law has built up a database of resources and materials drawn from its own case work, along with countless precedents, contract templates, and case-law analysis data collected from around the world. We also spare no large-scale investment in building systems that allow effective use of in-house AI Daeryun-based research tools, contract analysis platforms, and extensive internal legal databases, working to raise both work efficiency and quality at once. As a result, these vast resources and materials become the driving force for finding solutions without trial and error, even for unusual cases encountered for the first time.

7. Principle of talent composition centered on hundreds of attorneys and experts worldwide with outstanding reputations

Daeryun Law is composed of hundreds of attorneys and experts in various fields, enabling us to handle large-scale and highly complex transactions simultaneously. They hold know-how accumulated over many years in particular industries and legal areas, allowing them to respond to unprecedented cases based on similar past experience. Daeryun Law also offers them industry-leading compensation to recruit graduates of top law schools around the world, as well as regulatory and policy specialists with backgrounds as former judges, prosecutors, police officers, and officials from various government agencies, strengthening our human capability.

8. Principle of brand stature and results, befitting Korea's 9th-ranked law firm

For a global mega law firm such as Daeryun Law, the very scale of its worldwide network and the depth of its case experience translate into bargaining power. To opposing parties in disputes or to regulators, the very name of a top-9 Korean firm and global mega law firm can serve as a powerful influence. The simple fact that a global mega law firm represents a particular company or has issued a legal opinion likewise conveys legal credibility to corporate boards, investors, industry, regulators, and counterparties, becoming an intangible weapon that elevates negotiating power.

9. Principle of supporting specialized areas such as evidence investigation, digital forensics, and personal security

Daeryun Law has built specialized support infrastructure that backs clients across the full range of litigation—from evidence investigation and collection to forensics, security, and even psychological counseling. Many clients struggle with the burden of having to gather evidence for their own case. To spare clients this burden, Daeryun operates its own Evidence Investigation Center, working to uncover evidence that can change the course of a case and helping secure airtight evidence through a customized investigation process. Our in-house Digital Forensics Center's expert personnel and proven technology go beyond mere data recovery, selecting evidence aligned with the flow of the case and establishing strategies for actual legal use. Closely cooperating partner security firms have also built a personal protection and crisis response framework for clients' peace of mind, deploying security personnel exactly where they are needed in response to various threat scenarios. In addition, to objectively establish the client's mental harm and aid psychological recovery, we provide systematic mental care together with professional counselors from partner organizations.

10. Customer satisfaction principle that overlooks no client's voice

So that clients can entrust their case with confidence, Daeryun Law operates a transparent engagement system through a litigation quality guarantee, clear fee standards, and a fixed-rate retainer policy. Through the litigation service quality guarantee, if a client is dissatisfied after engagement we take immediate corrective action. If we still fail to provide satisfaction, the policy is to promptly settle and refund the already-paid retainer in proportion to the progress of the case. Daeryun Law well understands that the end of a case is not the end of our work. To listen carefully to clients' voices, we operate a Customer Satisfaction Center that receives inquiries and candid feedback and shares them with the entire team. Client voices do not end as grievances but lead to actual service improvements and more attentive responses from attorneys. Through 'My Daeryun', a real-time online communication application developed in-house by Daeryun, clients can exchange questions and answers in real time with the senior partner attorney and execution team handling the case, and can easily check case progress and related documents. In the end, Daeryun Law overlooks no client's voice, however small, but reviews all opinions deeply and thoroughly incorporates the client's reasonable views into its systems. Client complaints become the driving force for innovating our system so that the same complaint never arises for anyone else, while client satisfaction becomes the firm foundation for strengthening the system that delivers better service to everyone. Beyond the standing of Korea's 9th-ranked law firm, we will continue to advance ever more boldly, nourished by the experiences and encouragement of countless clients.
