SJKP signs global legal exchange MOU with Syracuse University Law School

- Cooperation in various fields such as international trade and customs... Promotion of global talent exchange programs
- SJKP “We will increase competitiveness in the Korean legal market by cooperating with institutions from around the world”

SJKP, the U.S. branch of Daeryun Law Firm, announced on the 18th that it has signed an MOU (business agreement) with Syracuse University College of Law and will begin global legal education and research cooperation.

This business agreement ceremony was held at Syracuse University in New York, USA, with key faculty members including Dean Terence J. Lau and Vice Dean Shannon Gardner, SJKP CEO Dong-il Park, and American attorney Dong-hu Son attending.

Syracuse University is a prestigious private school in the eastern United States, and is also widely known as the school from which former U.S. President Joe Biden graduated. It has accumulated excellent educational capabilities based on its long history and tradition, and is highly regarded as an educational system that encompasses practice and academics.

Through this MOU, SJKP plans to establish a foundation for practical cooperation in various fields such as global legal education, international practical seminars, and talent training.

Specifically, they broadly discussed ▲academic exchanges such as law education, ▲joint seminars focusing on cultural and system comparison, ▲international talent training programs, etc., and agreed to promote continuous exchange of experts and joint research.

In particular, in this MOU, the promotion of joint seminars specialized in the field of international trade and customs and global practice-oriented research were selected as key areas of cooperation. Based on the expertise of Dean Lau, a former Ford Motor Company legal advisor, SJKP and Syracuse Law School plan to regularly conduct joint research on global trade issues and tariff regulations.

In addition, SJKP, along with Daeryun, will engage in talent exchange with Syracuse Law School. Daeryun plans to invite about 20 students from Syracuse Law School to the Daeryun Korean law firm office in May next year and conduct a field-oriented practical exchange program with Daeryun's professional lawyers.

Terence J. Lau, Dean of Syracuse University Law School, said, "The MOU with SJKP will be an important milestone in expanding Syracuse Law School's educational philosophy of practice-oriented global legal education. We look forward to operating various global programs together based on the expertise of both institutions."

Park Dong-il, CEO of Daeryun Law Firm, said, "Daeryun is a law firm that has been leading practice-oriented legal services in Korea, and through direct cooperation with prestigious U.S. law schools, we have been able to contribute to fostering more practical international legal talent. We will continue to work in solidarity with educational institutions and experts from around the world to increase the global competitiveness of the Korean legal market."

Meanwhile, SJKP, the U.S. branch of Daeryun Law Firm, has an office on the 76th floor of the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York, and currently provides services in major legal fields across the U.S., including civil, criminal, domestic affairs, corporate legal affairs, investments, and international contracts.
