Attorney Taeseung Lee, an ‘industrial safety and major disaster veteran’, joins Daeryun Law Firm

Active in the fields of elections, labor, and industrial safety... Served as head of the National Litigation Division at the Ministry of Justice

Daeryun Law Firm (CEOs Kim Kuk-il and Go Byeong-jun) announced on the 11th that it had recruited Lee Tae-seung (26th class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), former head of the Masan Branch of the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office, who is considered a 'veteran of industrial safety and major disasters' in the legal profession.

Attorney Lee started as a prosecutor at the Busan District Prosecutors' Office in 1997 and served as the head of the Public Security Department at the Busan District Prosecutors' Office, the deputy chief prosecutor at the Bucheon Branch of the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office, and the head of the Masan Branch of the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office. In addition, he served as the head of the National Litigation Division of the Ministry of Justice during the Constitutional Court's 2014 adjudication of the dissolution of the Unified Progressive Party and served as a representative representative.

In addition, in 2022, he was appointed as a special assistant prosecutor in the case of the death of the late Sergeant Lee Ye-ram, a victim of sexual assault in the Air Force. He investigated sexual violence and secondary assaults within the Air Force and suspicions of cover-up and appeasement by the Ministry of National Defense and Air Force Headquarters, and led to the conviction of the main perpetrators after a three-year legal battle.

In particular, this lawyer was active in areas such as elections, labor, and industrial safety during his time as a prosecutor. Currently, he is active as a regular member of the ‘Serious Accident Punishment Act Practical Research Group’, an expert group that researches and educates on the interpretation, application, and practical response to laws related to the punishment of serious disasters.

In addition, he is a co-author of "Commentary and Response to the Severe Accident Punishment Act," which contains a response manual related to serious disasters, and also lectures on response measures to the Severe Accident Punishment Act for companies.

Based on this expertise, Attorney Lee lectured on the main contents of the Serious Accident Act to many companies and associations and provided advice on organizational structure reorganization.

Through this recruitment, Daeryun plans to strengthen its response system to industrial safety and major disaster incidents and strengthen its competitiveness in corporate consulting.

Attorney Lee will reside at the Yongsan branch office in Seoul and plans to handle criminal, labor, industrial safety, and serious disaster cases across the country.

Attorney Lee said, “I have handled many socially important criminal cases, such as the metropolitan vice mayor election fraud case and the N room case,” and added, “I will work hard from the client’s perspective based on a deep understanding of criminal procedures and a fair perspective.”

Kim Kook-il, CEO of Management, said, "Recently, with the new government taking office, 'a society of labor safety and respect' has been set as the keynote of labor policy. Accordingly, it is a time when companies also need a systematic response to serious accidents. When a serious accident occurs, it is necessary to conduct on-site analysis as well as consider various legal principles. We expect to be able to provide more in-depth and customized legal solutions through the addition of this lawyer, who has extensive experience in investigating industrial accidents."
