Daeryun Law Firm (Liuhan) recruits lawyer Ahn Kwon-seop, a former ‘deputy chief prosecutor’

Expert in fields such as violent crime, labor, and intellectual property rights
“We will protect our customers’ legal rights based on our know-how from our time as prosecutors.”

Daeryun Law Firm (Lihan) announced on the 7th that it had hired representative attorney Ahn Kwon-seop, a former deputy chief prosecutor.

After passing the bar exam in 1993, Attorney Ahn was appointed as a prosecutor at the Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office in 1996. Afterwards, he worked at the Cheongju Prosecutor's Office, Chungju District Prosecutors' Office, and the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office, where he took on major violent crime cases, including drug and sex crimes.

In 2008, he served as chief prosecutor at the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office and expanded his work areas to include anti-corruption, labor, and intellectual property rights. He also played an active role in a number of prosecutors' offices, including the Jeju District Prosecutors' Office and the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office, and received a commendation from the Prosecutor General. Since 2018, he served as the head of the Yongin branch of the Legal Research and Training Institute and as a legal advisor to the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

Attorney Ahn took off his legal uniform in 2020 and began practicing as a lawyer in earnest. Based on his extensive experience as a prosecutor, he showed excellent performance in both civil and criminal cases, such as obtaining an acquittal on behalf of a client who was unfairly accused of being a sex offender and winning a civil lawsuit on behalf of the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

In particular, he stood out in the corporate legal field by representing companies facing legal risks, such as violations of the Construction Technology Promotion Act and tax laws, and obtaining acquittals.

In addition, starting in 2021, based on many years of experience in litigation and legal advice, he has been working as an advisory attorney at the Seoul Metropolitan Government and Seongbuk-gu and Songpa-gu offices.

Attorney Ahn said, "I am happy to join Daeryun, a large law firm that is showing growth based on excellent achievements in various fields. Based on the know-how I have accumulated while working as a prosecutor, I will help clients protect their legal rights not only in general cases but also in corporate cases."

Daeryun CEO Kim Kuk-il said, “Attorney Ahn has accumulated extensive experience handling numerous corporate criminal cases, including violent crime cases, during his time as a prosecutor,” and added, “With the recruitment of Attorney Ahn, we will be able to strengthen our work capabilities and present more professional and systematic solutions to customers who visit Daeryun.”

Meanwhile, Daeryun operates a corporate legal group and has formed a team with experts such as accountants, tax accountants, and labor attorneys to provide various legal assistance in areas such as personnel, labor, rehabilitation, bankruptcy, and M&A.
