Daeryun Law Firm launches defect litigation center... Strengthening construction company response system

Focusing on protecting construction companies’ defense rights in the plaintiff-centered defect litigation market
Providing integrated services ranging from lawsuit response to preventative advice and defect assessment response

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 30th that it has officially launched the ‘Defect Litigation Center’ to protect the legal rights and interests of construction companies in construction defect disputes and provide a systematic response system.

The purpose of the new center is to strengthen the defense rights of construction companies in the existing defect litigation market, which is biased toward the plaintiffs (residents' representative meetings, etc.). Daeryun plans to provide customized risk management services to construction companies through defendant-specific strategies and preventive consulting.

Daeryun has a team of experts in each field, led by Center Director Kim Gwang-deok, who has nearly 20 years of practical experience in construction companies and medium-to-large law firms.

Attorney Park Jeong-gyu, who has experience as a Supreme Court trial researcher and construction court judge, Kang Dae-hee, who has distinguished himself in advising construction companies, and Kim Hyeong-jin, who has extensive experience in large-scale construction projects, joined to enhance expertise. Here, attorney Seon Yu-ju, who specializes in redevelopment and reconstruction and is registered with the Korean Bar Association, and attorney Shin Hye-jin, who has extensive experience in providing legal advice to public institutions such as LH, plan to establish a collaborative system to resolve the construction company's grievances in a three-dimensional way.

The Defect Litigation Center goes beyond simple litigation and provides integrated services such as defect prevention consulting, construction contract review, and defect appraisal response. In particular, at the defect evaluation stage, which is the core of the lawsuit, we focus on calculating the reasonable scope of liability by carefully analyzing various reasons for limitation of liability, such as negligence in design or negligence in use.

Internal infrastructure was also strengthened to ensure an effective response. In connection with the evidence investigation center in Daeryun, we secure objective physical evidence such as construction records and supervision reports and establish a logical defense system. At the same time, we plan to cooperate with carefully selected defect appraisal companies to share the latest precedents and technology trends and provide construction companies with services that combine technology and law.

Daeryun Center Director Kim Gwang-deok emphasized, “Due to the nature of the project, stable risk management is essential for construction companies,” and added, “Based on Daeryun’s unrivaled evidence-gathering capabilities and technological network, we will become a partner that protects the construction company’s right to legitimate defense and resolves management uncertainties.”
