Daeryun successfully completes the 2026 Compliance and ESG Workshop... “Sharing corporate risk response strategies”

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 2nd that it successfully completed the '2026 Compliance Management/Sustainability Management ISO/ESG/CP Integrated Workshop' co-hosted with the Korea Compliance Institute (KCI).

This workshop, held at the FKI Tower Conference Center in Yeouido, Seoul on the 30th of last month, was designed to examine key compliance management and ESG strategies that companies must have in a rapidly changing internal and external business environment. The event was held simultaneously online and offline, and legal and compliance officers and practitioners from each company attended and filled the event.

The workshop on this day consisted of practical programs such as ESG management strategy and fair trade risk management. Among these, in the fair trade compliance session, Attorney Gye-jun Son of Daeryun Corporate Legal Group presented topics directly related to practice, such as ▲Major issues of the 2026 Fair Trade Act ▲Types of unfair trade practices ▲Subcontract transaction risk management.

Attorney Son first cited 'strengthening digital forensics-based investigations' and 'large-scale investigation teams' as the Fair Trade Commission's latest on-site investigation trends and presented systematic response tips.

He emphasized, “Recently, investigations are being carried out by deploying large-scale human resources to secure digital data,” and added, “We must not only accompany investigative officials at all times, but also have the company’s IT experts present to prevent infringement of rights during the forensic process and establish a system to immediately seek assistance from lawyers for uncertain matters.”

This was followed by suggestions on risk management measures for each stage of subcontracting transactions. Attorney Son pointed out legal issues that may arise at each stage, from contract signing to payment, and warned of the dangers of following customary practices.

He added, "The subcontracting law has many prohibitive provisions in principle and is structured in such a way that the company must bear the burden of proving justifiable reasons. Since it is not easy to claim that trading practices with partners do not violate the law, it is essential to make efforts to improve the trading practices themselves by strengthening internal training and regularizing prior monitoring through external experts."

In addition, presentations on ESG government-supported business strategies and ISO 37001/37301 revision response guide were followed, and at the end of the event, the '2025 Compliance Management Leaders Awards' awards ceremony was held to discover excellent companies that contributed to establishing a compliance culture. At the awards ceremony on this day, HK InnoN was honored with the grand prize, and Korea South-East Power and GS Retail received the grand prize and excellence award, respectively, and were selected as exemplary examples of law-abiding management.

Lee Seon Choi, CEO of Daeryun and head of AI and Compliance, said, “Starting with this workshop, Daeryun will strengthen its all-round partnership encompassing law and compliance so that companies can overcome complex regulations and continue to grow sustainably.”
