A real estate agent accused of forging a real estate customer's loan certificate was found not guilty. According to the legal community on the 23rd, the Nonsan Branch of the Daejeon District Court recently found Mr. A, a man in his 60s, not guilty on charges of forging private documents and attempted fraud. Mr. A lent 50 million won in cash to Mr. B, who was a real estate customer, on several occasions in 2019. At the time, the two men signed an IOU and a promise to pay interest; Mr. B passed away the following year due to a chronic illness. Afterwards, Mr. B's surviving family sued Mr. A, alleging that he had prepared a false IOU even though he had never lent money to Mr. B. In the process, the bereaved family submitted a signature evaluation result showing that the handwriting on the certificate did not match Mr. B's and claimed Mr. A's guilt. However, Mr. A immediately denied the charge. He claimed that he had actually lent the money and that the IOU was also written according to Mr. B's will. He explained that he had lent tens of millions of won in cash, saying, "Mr. B owned a house and land and said, 'I will repay even if I sell the land,' so I did not raise any suspicions." The court declared Mr. A not guilty. The court ruled, "If you look at the evaluation results submitted by the complainant, the handwriting on the IOU is different from Mr. B's handwriting," but "this content alone does not admit that Mr. A signed arbitrarily." “If Mr. A actually forged the handwriting, we need to know how he came to possess the stamp on the license, but this cannot be confirmed.” Attorney Byeon Gwan-hoon of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, said, “In the case of forgery of private documents, the ‘motive of forgery’ is an important basis for judgment.” “There is no reason to write it more than twice,” he emphasized.

The Busan Regional Bar Association (Chairman Kim Yong-min) held the ‘2025 Mandatory Training for New Members’ at the Nongshim Hotel in Oncheon-dong, Dongrae-gu, Busan on April 21. This training was conducted for 58 of the 112 new lawyers who joined the Busan Bar Association after April 2024. The new lawyers took lectures on ‘Basics of Civil Litigation’ by lawyer Hyun-jong Hwang (42, 42nd class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), ‘Basics of Criminal Litigation’ by lawyer Jae-won Choi (44, took the 1st bar exam), and ‘Legal Ethics – Lawyer Act’ by attorney Ju-young Park (41st, 40th class of the Law Firm). After finishing the final lecture on ‘Ethics Education’ by lawyer Park Hyeong-jun (60, 24th class), there was also a time of fellowship with the executive branch. Kim Yong-min (50th, 30th class), President of the Busan Association, said, “We will generously support new members so that they can take their first steps through systematic education programs, practical mentoring, and active exchange.”[View full article] Busan Bar Association, mandatory training for new lawyers in 2025 (link)

A woman in her 50s who was accused of child abuse for insulting her parents in front of her children was not indicted. According to the legal community on the 22nd, the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office cleared A, a woman in her 50s, who was recently sent on charges of violating the Child Welfare Act (child abuse). She was accused of making insulting remarks in front of B, a neighbor, and her children in 2022. Mr. B claimed that Mr. A abused his child 13 times by screaming or intentionally blocking the road. On the other hand, Mr. A completely denied the charges, saying that although it is true that there was a conflict with Mr. B, he did not harm the child. The prosecution decided that Mr. A's charges were not recognized. It is true that Mr. B's children saw the two people arguing, but this does not constitute child abuse. It was determined that there was not enough evidence to support the claim that Mr. A yelled at Mr. B's child or blocked the road. Attorney Daeryun of Songwon Law Firm, who is Mr. A's legal representative, said, "Relevant materials such as the recording file submitted by Mr. B contained a situation in which the two people were fighting, but there was no circumstances of abuse at all. Person A also submitted materials that could refute Mr. B's claim, but the investigative agency judged the reliability of this material to be higher and acquitted him. “I can see it,” he said.

The legal procedures for citizens to protect their rights are becoming increasingly complex. We live in an era where it is difficult to seek relief for rights without the assistance of legal experts, not only in criminal cases but also in relatively small-scale private disputes and administrative dispositions. In this situation, the ‘10% value-added tax’ levied on the cost of hiring a lawyer is a structural barrier that prevents the realization of citizens’ basic rights. The current value-added tax law taxes almost all lawyer services except public defenders, legal aid, and public tax representation. This is because, unlike education and medical services, legal services are treated as ‘general services’. However, legal services are not the exclusive domain of companies or institutions. For the majority of the general public, especially the economically vulnerable, this tax is a burden that is not light. Based on awareness of this problem, in September of last year, Rep. Kim Sang-wook proposed a bill to partially amend the Value-Added Tax Act. The amendment mainly contains content that includes tax exemption for the services of lawyers in small claims cases, criminal litigation procedures, administrative trials, and administrative litigation under the Small Claims Trial Act, and in cases where the parties involved are economically disadvantaged. In other words, it can be said to be a limited but symbolic attempt at legislation in terms of protecting fundamental constitutional rights such as the right to seek trial and the right to assistance from a lawyer. However, this amendment is close to ‘partial first aid’ for structural problems. This is because citizens' basic rights are not limited to certain types of cases. Even general civil or family litigation can be a matter directly related to survival for the parties involved. However, if value-added tax is still imposed when hiring a lawyer in these cases, the economically vulnerable class will eventually have no choice but to give up legal action due to the financial burden. Kim Jeong-wook, president of the Korean Bar Association, explicitly pledged to realize ‘lawyer compensation value-added tax exemption’ during his election as president of the association. However, in order for the pledge to be realized, it needs to go beyond mere mention, and concrete momentum and legislative follow-up measures are needed. Now is the time for more structural and responsible practice at the association level. If legal services are recognized as public goods, a more comprehensive and sophisticated system design must be followed, such as a gradual expansion of tax exemption, a tax refund system, and comprehensive tax exemption for basic livelihood recipients, apart from limited tax exemption measures. Therefore, the Bar Association has a responsibility to go beyond simply ‘welcoming’ legislation and take the lead in the entire process, from passing the bill, specifying the system, and coordinating practical work with relevant ministries. Daeryun Law Firm will also contribute substantially to this change. We will first identify the types of cases that are in the blind spot of the value-added tax and lay the foundation for legislative and policy discussions by conducting a national survey and accumulating statistical data. We will accurately understand the reality faced at the forefront of practice and lead to system improvement. Through this, Daeryun will expand the way for citizens to more easily access legal services. ‘Taxes’ should no longer be an obstacle to realizing citizens’ rights. Now is the time to completely reexamine the value-added tax system from the perspective of the public nature of legal services and the guarantee of basic rights.[View full article] [Contribution] Lawyers’ value-added tax blocking people’s basic rights requires follow-up measures (link)

Submitted to a trust company by manipulating documents, including inflating the introduction fee... A real estate agent accused of defrauding a trust company and collecting fees was found not guilty. On the 6th of last month, the Changwon District Court found Mr. A, in his 50s, not guilty. Mr. A prepared a false service contract document in 2015 and submitted it to the trust company to sell it. He was accused of collecting about 160 million won in agency fees. The prosecution believed that Mr. A used his business status to collect fees from the trust company by pretending that he had recruited union members. In addition, it was judged that a higher amount than the introduction fee (MGM fee) actually paid was recorded in the submitted documents. Accordingly, Mr. A claimed that he only listened to the request of the head of a local housing association to lend the name to smooth payment of brokerage fees, and had no intention of defrauding the profit. He also emphasized that the fee charged to the trust company was the amount actually paid and was not a false statement. The court found Mr. A not guilty. The court said, “There is no basis for prohibiting the defendant from receiving a fee for union members recruited by a third party, such as no restrictions on the method of recruiting union members in the concluded service contract,” and added, “It is permissible to recruit union members or adopters through a third party, etc. and receive a fee.” He continued, “The trust company paid the fee after confirming evidential materials such as the number of units to be sold and the sales agency fee for each household,” adding, “There is a difference between the defendant’s actions and the trust company’s disposition.” “It is difficult to say that there is a causal relationship,” he added. Attorney Jong-Hoon Han of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, explained, “Most of the fees charged to the trust company were actually compensation for brokerage, and there was no gain for Mr. A as a result.” He added, “It appears that the court found him not guilty because there was no intention to engage in criminal activity.” Reporter Shin Jae-yu (wayjay@sportsseoul.com)[View full article] A real estate agent who deceived a trust company and took 100 million won in commissions...

On the 2nd, President Trump announced a policy of imposing reciprocal tariffs on countries with trade deficits. It was announced that the reciprocal tariff rates for each country were set in consideration of differences in tariff rates for U.S. products and non-tariff trade barriers such as exchange rate manipulation, unnecessary permits, and quarantine, but in reality, it is presumed that the U.S. trade deficit and the import amount of the other country served as important criteria. In addition, President Trump also declared that he would withdraw tax exemption benefits for small parcels originating from China and Hong Kong. Previously, in early February, it had already announced the abolition of duty-free benefits due to the importation of fentanyl into the United States, but it was overturned the next day due to confusion in field operations at the time. The policy of withdrawing duty-free benefits for small parcels originating from China and Hong Kong, which was finally announced, is scheduled to take effect from May 2. The targets are goods manufactured in China and Hong Kong and shipped to the United States under $800, and tariffs are applied at 120% based on the product value. A fee of $100 per transaction will be charged from May 2 to 31, and a fee of $200 per transaction will be charged from June 1. Transporters must hold a certain level of deposit to guarantee payment of taxes and fees. In addition, it is necessary to submit mail-related information and proof according to the method set by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Currently, the volume of small parcels eligible for duty-exemption in the U.S. is estimated to be approximately 4 million per day as of 2024. Annually, it is approximately 1.4 billion, of which 60% are estimated to originate from China. Therefore, the abolition of the small-value duty-free system for Chinese goods is expected to have a significant impact on American consumers. In addition to the United States, major countries such as Korea, Japan, and the EU are also considering abolishing the duty-free system for small-value goods. This is because low-priced Chinese goods have been flowing into their countries in large numbers under the small-value duty-free system, disrupting the market. Looking at the small-value duty-free system in major countries, the duty-free limit is $800 in the United States, $150 in Korea ($200 for list clearance from the United States), It is 10,000 yen in Japan and 150 euros in the EU, but it can be seen that the tax exemption limit in the United States is higher than in other countries. The small tax exemption limit in the United States was originally $200, but was relaxed to $800 as of 2016. Since then, as e-commerce has grown rapidly during the coronavirus pandemic, problems such as increased drug smuggling through small packages and deepening China's deficit have grown, which led to a movement to abolish the small tax exemption system even within the United States at the time. And eventually, the second Trump administration announced the abolition of the small-value parcel duty exemption system for products originating from China and Hong Kong. As the market is disturbed by the large influx of low-priced Chinese goods, the EU is also exempting tariffs on small-value goods but imposing value-added tax from July 2021. Starting in March 2028, tariffs will also be imposed on small-value items less than 150 euros, so the duty-free system for small-value items is expected to be eventually abolished. In Korea, as the e-commerce market grew rapidly during the coronavirus pandemic, Chinese e-commerce companies such as Ali Express, Xuyin, and Temu also became active in entering Korea. However, while Chinese goods receive benefits such as exemption from customs duties and KC certification through the small-value duty exemption system, domestic businesses cannot apply small-value duty exemptions to goods for sale, so reverse discrimination became a problem as they had to pay customs duties and obtain relevant KC certification for all imported goods. As President Trump revoked duty-free benefits for small parcels from China and Hong Kong, Chinese e-commerce companies that were hit in the U.S. market are likely to target the Korean market even by dumping product prices. It got higher. And since Korea has a very low tariff rate compared to China, there is a risk that Chinese products will be imported in large quantities into the country for bypass export to the United States. Therefore, support measures are urgently needed to protect the domestic manufacturing industry, which is inevitably losing out in price competition with Chinese products. In addition, it seems necessary to revise the system appropriately so that the original purpose of the tax exemption system for small items, which is to improve the convenience of people's lives, can be revived.

Most people who have decided to divorce probably have the biggest question about ‘alimony.’ This is because it is a legal means to recover from emotional wounds and mental damage accumulated over a long period of time. However, when you actually want to claim alimony, you may often feel at a loss because you do not have accurate information about what claim to make or how much money you can receive. Alimony is a request for compensation for property and mental damages from the spouse responsible for the breakdown of the marriage under civil law. Therefore, in order for a claim for alimony to be accepted, the other party must be responsible and it must be clearly proven that this led to the breakdown of the marriage. This means that beyond simple personality differences or conflicts, wrongdoings such as verbal abuse, assault, or habitual infidelity must be proven. When determining the amount of alimony, the court comprehensively considers the duration of the marriage, the degree of responsibility of the other party, the presence of children, and the childcare situation. Even in the same affair case, the amount of alimony you can receive may vary depending on whether the marriage lasted 1 year or 20 years and whether there are 1 or 3 children. Generally, alimony is set at an average of 10 to 30 million won, but if the other party's fault is severe, a higher amount may be requested. The most necessary thing to receive alimony is ‘objective evidence.’ This is because it is necessary to objectively and clearly prove that the other party is at fault. For example, if the spouse's affair was the problem, messages, phone records, and lodging records that the spouse exchanged with the person with whom the adultery was committed must be secured. If there was an assault or verbal abuse, relevant medical certificates, transcripts, and police report details are required. If the cause is financial irresponsibility or neglect of life, it is advantageous to have bank transaction details or spending records. Attorney Seoyoung Hwang of Daeryun Law Firm in Gangneung said, "However, it is realistically difficult for an individual to completely collect such evidence on his own. In particular, in the case of infidelity, most cases are carried out secretly, so there are limits to the ability of the general public to secure data that meets legal requirements." He also added, "Also, during the evidence collection process, you may unintentionally commit crimes such as illegal filming or invasion of privacy, and in this case, you may be at risk of punishment. In such cases, you may even end up in a situation where you cannot submit the evidence you collected with difficulty as evidence in a lawsuit. Therefore, it is best to collect evidence in a legal manner and prepare a lawsuit based on strategic preparation through the assistance of an expert such as a divorce lawyer.”[View full article] A lawyer explains the importance of claiming divorce alimony and collecting evidence (link)

Kim Kuk-il, CEO of Daeryun Management, “Daeryun’s goal is the global market”He said “Daeryun’s unique system, which has been developed over a long period of time, will now be widely known overseas.”I was confident that. ―What motivated you to operate branch offices all over the country??“The existing legal market was very opaque.. This was especially true from the perspective of ordinary clients.. It was difficult to obtain specific information about lawyers or law firms, so it took a long time to find a lawyer to take on the case, or sometimes it was through a so-called broker.. The psychological barrier gradually increased., Customer trust in the entire legal market was bound to decline.. Daeryun sought to overcome this reality.. First of all, I thought the physical distance should be close.. In fact, large American law firms have at least dozens of branch offices throughout the United States and around the world.. By benchmarking the advanced systems of these law firms, we are implementing them nationwide, focusing on one main office. 43Established several branch offices. The key is that the main office manages all branch offices nationwide..

This is because the essence of the problem can be accurately identified at this stage.. If the characteristics of the incident are not clearly analyzed at the beginning,, Difficult to assign appropriate professional lawyers.

Recognized for long-term skills, This is a method in which consulting attorneys selected through fierce internal competition accurately understand the characteristics of each case and then assign specialized attorneys to suit them.. When necessary, experts from various fields such as accountants, labor attorneys, tax accountants, and patent attorneys were brought in to view the case from various perspectives.. This is similar to the advanced law firm system in the United States.. In the United States, a system is usually operated where a partner lawyer takes on a case, consults with the customer, and then assigns the case to an appropriate team.. The same goes for Daeryun.. The consulting attorney takes on the role of a partner attorney.. It can be seen as a similar method in that it promotes efficient and professional case handling by tightly establishing a distribution system according to the type of case.. Added to this, Daeryun's unique characteristic is that lawyers with backgrounds as judges and prosecutors directly conduct investigations and appear in court, forming bonds with their clients., It can be pointed out that there are many cases where the person is directly involved in the progress of the case.." ―What do you pay most attention to when operating such a system?.“As mentioned before, in the end, the most important subject is ‘customer’am.

In the case of Daeryun, offices are distributed throughout the country., Some may voice concerns about management. Daeryun has also been working hard for a long time to perfectly complement these points., The result is ‘Litigation Management Headquarters’and ‘Customer Satisfaction Center’all. ‘Litigation Management Headquarters’is a group that directs and supervises the overall litigation administration..

Day workers who threatened to quit the company after demanding an unreasonable wage increase and claimed that they would quit the company because they were “unqualified” filed an application for relief claiming “unfair dismissal” when they received a notice of dismissal from the company, but the Labor Relations Commission rejected the application. The Labor Relations Commission ruled that the termination of the contract was agreed upon between both parties and that these daily workers cannot be the party requesting relief. In February, the Gyeongnam Regional Labor Relations Commission decided to dismiss the case of unfair dismissal relief filed against the company by worker B, who worked as a freelancer at ship processing company A, and others. Person B and others had signed an oral contract with the company and worked since last year. However, soon after, they demanded a salary increase and announced their intention to resign if the company did not accept it. Ultimately, Company A notified them via text message that their employment relationship had ended. Mr. B and others objected to this, claiming that there was a problem with the method of notification of dismissal, and filed an application for relief from unfair dismissal to the Labor Relations Commission. The company argued that the contract had been legally terminated. Company A's legal representative said, "The workers threatened not to proceed with work unless they changed their wages, etc. to favorable conditions. The company had no choice but to agree to this and treat it as termination of the employment relationship. In particular, they paid 3.3% business income tax, not earned income tax, and did not subscribe to the four major insurances. In other words, they signed a service contract on an equal footing with the employer." Gyeongnam Ginowi also sided with company A and applied for relief. dismissed. Ginowi explained, “The legal nature of the contract concluded between the worker and the employer cannot be considered a normal labor contract relationship.” He added, “When looking at the call records, etc., the worker also recognized the relationship between the parties as an equal relationship, not a dependent relationship, and appears to have resigned voluntarily. Therefore, he is not eligible to apply for unfair dismissal relief.” Attorney Song Jae-baek of Daeryun Law Firm, which represented Company A, said, “The applicants lack manpower within the company. He took advantage of the situation to demand an unreasonable salary increase, and used this as an excuse to cause discord within the team.” He pointed out, “The reason this is possible in the first place is because it is not a dependent relationship.” He also said, “There was no additional agreement such as a ban on concurrent employment, so the applicants were free to participate in other construction projects and perform parallel work on days when they were not working.” “All were dismissed,” he said.[View full article] Application for unfair dismissal relief upon termination of daily worker contract...
