Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 28th that it had held an international legal exchange program together with its U.S. local partner law firm SJKP, LLP and Syracuse University College of Law.

At the program's opening ceremony, held on the 26th at Daeryun's main office in Parc.1 in Yeouido, Seoul, attendees included Daeryun Representatives Kim Kook-il and Park Dong-il, Foreign Attorney Son Dong-hu, Syracuse University College of Law Associate Dean Shannon Gardner, Professor of Digital and Technology Law and Intellectual Property Law Dan Traficonte, about 20 enrolled students, and Hong Dae-sik, chairman of the Korea Association of Law Schools, among others.

Syracuse University College of Law, established in 1895, is a traditional U.S. legal education institution recognized for its competitiveness in practice-centered legal education fields such as international law and technology law. It is also known as the alma mater of Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States.

This exchange program was realized based on an MOU that Daeryun's partner firm SJKP concluded with Syracuse Law School in November last year. Arranged on the foundation of the two institutions' ongoing partnership, this event carries the aim of jointly cultivating global legal talent and jointly responding to cross-border legal demand, beyond a mere institutional visit.

Daeryun Representative Kim Kook-il, who attended the opening ceremony, emphasized, "This occasion is a meaningful time to experience the Korea-U.S. practice environment and discuss client-centered improvements in practical operations," adding, "Based on cooperation with SJKP, Daeryun will continue to broaden its capacity to respond to international legal demand beyond the domestic sphere."

Representative Park Dong-il said, "I find it all the more meaningful that the discussions I had when I visited Syracuse Law School in person last year have led to an actual exchange program," adding, "As Seoul has great potential to grow into an Asian hub for legal education and business, we will widen the doors of various opportunities so that outstanding global talent can grow together within the global network of Daeryun and SJKP."

Shannon Gardner, Associate Dean of Syracuse University College of Law, said, "I find it very meaningful to hold, for the first time in Seoul, the international exchange program that had been operated centered on London," adding, "I hope it becomes an opportunity for students to directly experience Korea's legal market and industrial field and broaden their perspective on global practice."

Chairman Hong Dae-sik then said, "I hope this meeting does not end as a one-time visit but becomes a starting point that further solidifies the friendship and cooperation between the two countries' legal educators and students."

In the ensuing seminar, Daeryun's Foreign Attorney Son Dong-hu took the stage as a speaker and gave a presentation on the theme of "The U.S. Technology Investment Environment and Digital Industry Regulatory Trends." Attorney Son explained major regulatory issues facing global companies, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) export controls, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and the Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) regulations.

He also drew participants' interest by explaining the practical flow—centered on disclosed cases such as investment-structure design, joint-venture operation, supply-chain regulatory response, and foreign-exchange reporting that arise in the cross-border transaction process—based on Korean companies' U.S. investment cases.

Daeryun and SJKP plan to further strengthen their cooperative relationship with Syracuse Law School, taking this exchange program as a starting point. The plan is to build an ongoing cooperation system across academic and practical fields—rather than ending with a one-off exchange—to further solidify their global network.

Meanwhile, SJKP, LLP is a U.S. corporation headquartered at 1 World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York, and, as Daeryun's global cooperation partner, handles Korea-U.S. cross-border legal advisory.
