[Yellow Envelope Law Firm Restaurant] Daeryun reduces risks and supports stabilization of labor-management relations

Introducing the law firms’ Yellow Envelope Law Task Force.

Daeryun Law Firm formed a task force (TF) last month to present practical countermeasures to corporate clients from the beginning of the implementation of the so-called Yellow Envelope Act (Amendment to Articles 2 and 3 of the Labor Union Act). We focus on providing comprehensive legal support covering customized personnel systems and overall labor-management relations so that corporate customers can develop predictable management strategies and minimize unnecessary disputes.

The TF is overseen by Intae Bang (Training Institute Class 41), an attorney with extensive experience in human resources, labor, industrial accident consulting, and litigation representation. Attorney Jeong Sang-hyeok (bar exam 10th time) specializes in preventing corporate risks based on his experience as a member of the deliberation and investigation committee on workplace bullying, sexual harassment, and human rights violations. Attorney Chang-min Jeong (12th episode) handled many corporate-related civil and industrial accident cases.

Labor attorney Nam Seo-hye, who has provided labor consulting in the IT, service, manufacturing, distribution, and hospital fields, and labor attorney Yang Hee-chun, who has been in charge of responding to Labor Office and Labor Relations Commission cases and workplace harassment investigations, are also contributing their expertise to the task force.

The TF seeks to simultaneously achieve two axes: minimizing corporate legal risks and stabilizing labor-management relations. To this end, we are preparing services such as △a response manual for each key issue of the Yellow Envelope Act △risk diagnosis and simulation for each company △establishing a response system in case of a dispute △operating an in-house training program. In particular, as the characteristics of companies differ depending on the industry and size, TF's biggest differentiation is that it provides customized solutions for companies rather than uniform advice.

The TF holds regular seminars and webinars to inform corporate officials, including personnel and labor managers, of the main contents of the amendment and expected legal risks. Recently, a 'Yellow Envelope Law Response Strategy Seminar' was held at the Seoul headquarters branch office.

Regarding the on-site atmosphere felt during this process, Attorney Bang said, "When dealing with corporate clients, most people feel quite anxious about 'what to prepare after the law goes into effect.'" He added, "In particular, the human resources and labor teams need a detailed roadmap because they need to prepare internal regulations, labor-management negotiation strategies, and risk response scenarios in line with system changes."

The TF plans to reflect these concerns in the field to predict and analyze various cases that may occur in the early stages of law enforcement, and based on this, build a response model that companies can use immediately in the field. Practical guidelines and casebooks that companies can use on their own are also being prepared.

Attorney Bang said, “We will cooperate with the government, academia, labor-management organizations, etc. to provide advice from an objective and balanced perspective,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure that the implementation of the Yellow Envelope Act becomes an opportunity for stable growth for companies.”
