Daeryun Law Firm (Lihan) announced on the 13th that it is providing specialized legal services by forming a separate ‘2024 Election Response TF’ to respond to the 22nd National Assembly election to be held on April 10.

The Election Response TF, which was launched last February, was formed by separately selecting personnel with extensive experience in election-related cases and expertise in cases of violation of the Public Official Election Act among professional lawyers and experts from the existing criminal investigation group and evidence investigation and digital forensics group.

The members of the election response task force are all former courts, prosecutors, and police officers with long legal experience, and have experience responding to a variety of cases.

Chief attorney Kim In-won, who served as chief prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, served as the team leader, and CEO Kim Kook-il served as the deputy team leader.

In particular, Daeryun took advantage of having the largest number of branches nationwide (36) and established a nationwide response system by including attorneys residing in regional offices as team members.

The team members include ▲Chief Managing Attorney Na Chang-soo, Park Seong-dong, General Counsel Kim Young-min (Seoul) ▲Chief Managing Attorney Seo Bong-ha (Suwon) ▲Chief Managing Attorney Kim Eun-young (Goyang) ▲Chief Managing Attorney Son Soon-hyuk (Daegu) ▲Chief Managing Attorney Kang Hyeong-yoon (Daejeon) ▲Chief Managing Attorney Kwak Min-seop (Gwangju) ▲Jin-won Kim, Geun-soo Kim, and Chief Attorney Il-kwon Lee (Busan) joined.

Daeryun, which manages all cases centrally at the headquarters, has prepared a digital system so that the management of this election incident can also be integrated and managed at the headquarters.

The Evidence Investigation and Digital Forensics Group, which includes investigative experts, is collaborating with them.

Using the capabilities and technology possessed by the Forensic Group, we completed an analysis of public opinion trends, completed a review of laws and precedents related to the April 10 general election, and established a one-stop legal service strategy.

According to the Public Official Election Act, if you are sentenced to a fine of 1 million won or more, you will lose your seat as a member of the National Assembly.

The Daeryun Election Response TF provides legal services tailored to the situation in each field, including ▲ legal advice during the election preparation and election campaign stages, ▲ investigation, complaint and reporting activities for violations of the Public Official Election Act, ▲ advocacy activities during the investigation and trial of suspected cases of the Public Official Election Act, and ▲ response to the spread of false information.

Daeryun has been at the forefront of protecting the rights of clients through professional defense activities regarding cases of violations of the Public Official Election Act.

Representative examples include a case defending a violation of the Public Official Election Act due to a member of City A's violation of donation restrictions, a case defending a violation of the Public Official Election Act due to a member of City B's establishment and installation of a private organization during his election campaign, and a case defending a violation of the Public Official Election Act due to interference with the election campaign of an elected member of the National Assembly of City C.

Regarding this year's April 10 general election, we are providing professional consulting services to help clients focus entirely on election campaigns without worrying about violations of the Public Official Election Act.

CEO Kook-il Kim said, "We have accumulated more data and practical experience than anyone else while taking on cases of violations of the Public Official Election Act that occur across the country. Our strength is that we can respond more quickly than any other law firm to protecting our clients' rights by having experts from the courts, prosecution, and police with expertise collaborate to handle one case."
