Former Chief Prosecutor Lee Gwang-woo joins Daeryun Law Firm... Expected to be a lawyer specializing in criminal cases

Specialized in violent criminal cases such as serial murder, organized crime, and drug smuggling

Daeryun Law Firm (Lihan) announced on the 22nd that it recently recruited attorney Gwang-Woo Lee, a former chief prosecutor, to strengthen its criminal group.

Attorney Gwang-Woo Lee was appointed as a prosecutor at the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office, and served as a prosecutor at the Gimcheon Branch of the Daegu District Prosecutors' Office and the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office, before serving as deputy chief prosecutor at the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office and the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office. Lastly, he served as chief prosecutor of the Daejeon District Prosecutors' Office and joined Daeryun Law Firm (Yuhan) as a lawyer specializing in criminal cases.

During his time as a prosecutor, lawyer Lee handled many violent crime cases, including the death and disappearance of a pastor couple, a drug smuggling case involving a third-generation tycoon, a private school teacher recruitment exam paper leak case, a pesticide attack and arson case at the prosecutor's office, and an illegal organized crime group formation case.

In particular, it is involved not only in violent crimes such as drug crimes and serial murders, but also in major criminal cases such as property crimes and the creation of illegal slush funds.

Attorney Lee said, “Complex criminal cases require analyzing the case from various angles. The experience of handling numerous violent crime cases will help Daeryun achieve results in the future,” and “Currently, Daeryun is subdividing its criminal group and taking proactive responses from the investigation stage. We will prepare strategies with our experts at all stages of the criminal case.”

As the role of criminal lawyers is important in the court, we are looking forward to the performance of this lawyer who specializes in criminal cases.” He added, “At Daeryun, we have strengthened the criminal group and launched a new investigation response team. I hope that this lawyer will pass on his know-how to the Daeryun Criminal Group.”

He added, “We will continue to recruit lawyers who are former chief judges, prosecutors, and police investigators, and are mobilizing various measures such as evidence investigation, digital forensics, collaboration with security groups, and operation of mock investigation rooms and courts, so we will be able to provide a higher level of legal services to our customers.”

Meanwhile, Daeryun recently relocated its headquarters to Yeouido and held a successful opening ceremony. We have increased our expertise by expanding and reorganizing specialized groups in various fields, including corporate law, criminal affairs, and civil affairs, and based on this, we are providing high-quality legal services to our customers.
