Daeryun-New York Consulate General discusses legal support for overseas nationals and Korea-U.S. legal exchanges

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 12th that it held a working-level meeting with the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in New York (Consul General Kim Eui-hwan) to protect overseas Koreans and strengthen legal cooperation between Korea and the United States.

At the meeting held at the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in New York on the 4th, diplomatic working-level staff, including Chairman Daeryun Shim Jae-guk, representative lawyer Park Dong-il, and Consul General Kim Eui-hwan of the consulate, attended.

This meeting was held as part of discussions to respond to the diverse and complex legal needs of the Korean community and companies operating in the United States and to design a cooperation model between embassies and private law firms in advance.

On this day, the two sides exchanged in-depth opinions on establishing a practical cooperation structure in various fields, including △establishing an emergency legal support and information linkage system for Koreans living abroad, △plans to share information on living laws related to residence, immigration, labor, and family, and △operating public interest legal education programs for international students and overseas Koreans.

Consul General Kim Ui-hwan said, “We welcome the entry of leading domestic law firms like Daeryun into the local market,” and added, “We hope that they will successfully settle down on the global stage as well.”

Chairman Daeryun Shim Jae-guk emphasized, “We want to promote national interests and substantially contribute to the people through the expansion of domestic law firms into the global market.”

Representative attorney Park Dong-il said, “This discussion is the first step in organically linking Daeryun’s global strategy with local public diplomacy,” and added, “It will be an opportunity to increase the publicness and effectiveness of global legal services.”

Starting with this meeting, Daeryun plans to further solidify the substantive cooperation-based system with public institutions and promote various plans to lead to joint programs such as specific business agreements in the future.

Meanwhile, Daeryun, as one of the top 10 law firms in Korea, provides comprehensive legal services encompassing all fields, including criminal, corporate law, and strategic litigation, and is pursuing a full-fledged global expansion strategy to New York and Washington.
