Final stage of opening of Japanese office... Work to expand into New York is also in full swing. CEO Kuk-il Kim "We will not rest on our laurels as a large domestic law firm... We will aim for the global market" Due to the stagnation of the domestic legal market, many large law firms are turning their attention to the overseas legal market. Until now, large domestic law firms have mainly operated with offices in Asian countries, but recently, there is a law firm that is moving beyond Asia and is moving to open an office in the United States, attracting attention. Daeryun Law Firm (Managing CEO) Kim Kuk-il and Ko Byeong-jun) announced on the 13th, "We will solidify our position as a large law firm in Korea and begin exploring overseas legal markets beyond the domestic market." Daeryun has the largest number of offices in Korea and has built its own legal service system. Daeryun officials believe that Daeryun's customized system based on its unique technical and service expertise is now at a level that can compete with overseas law firms. In particular, if existing law firms operating overseas have operated overseas offices by helping domestic companies advance overseas, Daeryun has solidified its position as a global law firm through a localization strategy of providing legal services to local companies and citizens of each country as its main customers, and has raised substantial foreign currency profits to become a K-law firm. The plan is to strive to create national interests as a leader. According to a Daeryun official, "I understand that you visited New York last month to hold meetings and look for office positions to recruit local lawyers. Please pay attention to the future steps of Daeryun, which has established a solid position in Korea, as it enters the overseas legal market." “We will promote the expertise of large domestic law firms to the world, which will have a beneficial effect on the domestic legal market,” he said. Daeryun’s goal is not limited to simply establishing an overseas office. Based on a meticulous localization strategy, the plan is to actively help overseas offices generate independent profits and gain an advantage in competition with foreign corporations. Expectations for creating national interests are also high. The plan is to provide high-quality legal services to customers located all over the world, promote the Korean market, and contribute to revitalizing the economy by earning foreign currency. Daeryun plans to actively recruit talent to successfully establish itself in overseas markets. In addition to dispatching domestic lawyers overseas, we are also recruiting local lawyers on a large scale. The plan is to solidify the foundation for legal services through lawyers who are well-versed in local laws as well as legal practices and culture. From now on, we plan to focus on ‘building a system.’ It is a method of implementing legal services provided domestically, such as legal advice, consultation, and litigation services, locally. This is even more meaningful in that Daeryun's special system is applied to provide high-quality legal services to local residents. Daeryun CEO Kim Kuk-il explained, "Currently, law firms' expansion into foreign countries is essentially limited to advising domestic companies. They are unable to turn foreign companies into customers, so they do not earn substantial foreign currency income. We plan to improve our status overseas by improving these issues." He continued, "At a time when global legal demand is growing, we expect to be able to provide legal services in various fields in addition to existing countries. “We are considering opening up markets in various countries,” he said, adding, “Based on this, we will provide the best service to customers who need Daeryun’s legal services in any country, and we will establish ourselves as a law firm that is not inferior to the competition with leading law firms in the global market.”[View full article] Jose Ilbo - “We will show the power of K-Law Firm”… Daeryun speeds up overseas office expansion (Go here) Asia Economy - [Law Firm Now] Daeryun Law Firm, Speed ​​of Expansion of Overseas Offices in Japan, U.S., etc. (Shortcut)

Criminal Division 13 of the Seoul Northern District Court “Considered accidental crime, prevention of escalation of damage, attitude of reflection, etc.” A decision was made to sentence a sister indicted to attempted murder by brandishing a weapon during an argument with her older brother, who had been verbally abusive to the family, to probation. The Criminal Division 13 of the Seoul Northern District Court (Presiding Judge Tae-woong Lee, Judge Hyeon-ho Kim, and Jun-hwan Choi) sentenced a woman in her 40s to trial on charges of attempted murder. Mr. A was sentenced to ‘2 years and 6 months in prison with 3 years of probation’ on the 19th of last month. Mr. A was indicted on charges of stabbing his older brother with a weapon during an argument at their home in April 2023. The prosecution determined that Mr. A used the weapon with intent, but was unable to continue the crime as the victim fought back, so they applied for attempted murder. Defendant A admitted to all crimes. However, the victim asked for leniency, saying that he committed the crime without his knowledge due to growing dissatisfaction with the verbal abuse and violence against himself and his family for a long time, and that he did not intend to kill. Criminal Division 13 of the Seoul Northern District Court, which heard this case, said, “Murder is an act of taking a person’s life and is a serious crime that cannot be recovered by any means.” However, the court pointed out, “It appears that the victim committed the crime accidentally while growing dissatisfied with his treatment of his family carelessly,” and added, “We also took into account the fact that the crime was only an attempt, the fact that he acknowledged and reflected on the crime, and the fact that the victim did not want to be punished.” Attorney Kim Cheol of Daeryun Law Firm (Limited), who represented the defendant A in this criminal case, said, “It could have resulted in a person’s life being threatened.” “It was not a light matter,” he said, but added, “It appears that the suspended sentence was given to Mr. A, taking into account the fact that he did not have a similar criminal record and that he took action to prevent the damage from expanding, such as reporting to 119 immediately after the crime so that emergency measures could be taken.”[View full article] A 40-year-old who stabbed her older brother, who had repeatedly verbally abused her, is charged with attempted murder... ‘suspended sentence’ (link)

A man in his 40s who was twice accused of having his lover write a self-introduction on his behalf was cleared of the charges. According to the police on the 10th, the Okcheon Police Station in North Chungcheong Province decided not to forward Mr. A, an employee in his 40s, who was suspected of obstruction of business on the 1st of last month. Mr. A was accused of interfering with recruitment by having Mr. It is known that Mr. A was finally passed in the recruitment process based on the relevant introduction. In relation to this, Mr. A denied all charges, saying that he only asked Mr. B to edit and review the self-introduction. He also claimed that the work experience he entered was not false and was actually the work he was responsible for. The police found that Mr. A was not guilty. It was determined that Mr. A had already written a similar self-introduction before dating Mr. B. The police said, "The self-introduction in question was in the past. “It was not much different from what was written,” he explained, “and the results of the investigation by the relevant agency revealed that it was not written on behalf of him.” The suspicion that he had written a false career history was also found to be untrue. The police said, “As a result of receiving information from the company where Mr. A worked, it was confirmed that he actually performed the work described in his self-introduction.” Mr. B, who first filed a complaint regarding this case, expressed his intention to object to the decision not to forward the complaint. Afterwards, Mr. B gathered evidence and filed the complaint again. However, the police again decided not to forward the case, saying, "There is no new evidence to change the existing decision." Attorney Kim Jin-ju of Daeryun Law Firm (Limited), who represented Mr. He further added, “The work history was the actual work that Mr. A was responsible for, so there was no false information, and Mr. B only helped with some corrections during the writing process, so the crime of obstruction of business was not established.”[View full article] A man in his 40s who had his lover ghostwrite his personal statement was ‘not guilty’ of obstruction of business (Go to the link)

Recently, cases of not receiving the deposit for rent or monthly rent are increasing. Looking at the status of real estate applications for lease registration orders posted on the court registration information plaza, the number of applications filed as of October this year is 52,430. This is about 10,000 higher than the 42,278 recorded during the same period last year. A lease registration order is a system that a tenant applies to the court when the deposit is not returned from the landlord even though the contract has ended. Through this, the tenant can maintain the right to recover the deposit and the right to preferential repayment even if he or she moves. In order to avoid being involved in problems related to the return of the deposit, it is necessary to pay attention from the time of signing the contract for the house. After examining the loan and deposit held by the landlord through a copy of the register, etc., it is necessary to determine whether or not the landlord has the ability to return it. After signing the contract, it is better to immediately file a move-in report and apply for a fixed date to obtain priority repayment rights, and sign up for rental guarantee insurance from the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG). If you do not want to renew, you must notify the landlord of your intention to vacate from 6 months to 2 months before the expiration date. At this time, it is important to keep records of phone calls or text messages. In the case of phone calls, it is a good idea to secure a recording of the call, and in the case of text messages, it is best to secure a reply confirming that the landlord has confirmed the contents of the text message. In some cases, a certificate of contents containing the contract expiration date may be sent. If the deposit has not been returned by the end of the contract, you can apply for a lease registration order or, in some cases, take legal action such as a payment order or civil lawsuit. At this time, if you receive help from an expert based on the data obtained earlier, it is possible to proceed with a more favorable lawsuit. In some cases, there are landlords who do not return the money even if you win the lawsuit for the return of the deposit. In this case, the deposit must be recovered by carrying out compulsory execution procedures based on the favorable judgment. The landlord can dispose of the house owned by a real estate auction or continue to return the deposit through bond or movable property seizure. However, because the issues and aspects of each individual case are different, the documents and measures required are also different. Therefore, it is also a good idea to prepare execution procedures based on thorough preparation and strategy with the help of experts.[View full article] From refund of deposit for rent and monthly rent, from moving-in report to lawsuit and compulsory execution (Shortcut)

Mr. A is sent on charges of possession and distribution of sexually exploitative material... Prosecutors deny charges of “mixing it with torrent files” Prosecutors say, “It is difficult to recognize sexually exploitative material… there is no intention of possession” No indictment A man in his 40s who was suspected of possessing and distributing sexually exploitative materials about children and adolescents was not indicted by the prosecution. On the 14th of last month, the Eastern Branch of the Busan District Prosecutors' Office decided not to charge Mr. A, in his 40s, who was suspected of violating the Act on Sexual Protection of Children and Adolescents. In January, he was accused of using a torrent program to download about 1,900 files of sexual exploitation of children and adolescents from the so-called ‘N Room incident’ and of possessing and distributing them. The police applied Mr. A to charges of false solicitation based on the fact that information records on folders related to child sexual exploitation were discovered as a result of digital forensics on the SSD storage medium owned by Mr. A and handed over the case to the prosecution. Mr. A completely denied the charges. Before traveling abroad, he downloaded a large amount of movie and drama files through a torrent program, and it was said that illegal footage was mixed in. While checking the list of downloaded files, Mr. A found an executable file suspected to be a virus and immediately deleted all folders. He also emphasized that he was not aware that the materials in question were sexual exploitation materials. He also refuted the charge of distributing sexual exploitation materials. Mr. A argued that the videos in question were simply distributed automatically due to the nature of the torrent program, which is distributed to an unspecified number of people at the same time as downloading. The prosecution decided not to indict Mr. A. This is because each file name of the video received by Mr. A is in alphabetic and numeric format, so it would be difficult to recognize it as sexual exploitation or illegal filming. The prosecution also added, “Due to the nature of the torrent program, we cannot rule out the possibility that files that were not selected by the suspect were also downloaded.” Regarding the related folder information records discovered during the digital forensics process, they explained that it is evidence that the folder was created on the PC and does not serve as evidence that it was viewed. Mr. A’s side Attorney Park Jeong-gu of Daeryun Law Firm (Limited), who acted as legal representative, explained, “Mr. A had no intention of possessing sexually exploitative material at all,” and “During the investigation, no data was found to confirm the circumstances by which Mr. A downloaded the illegally filmed material, and it appears that the prosecution also took this into consideration.”[View full article] A man suspected of possessing and distributing sexually exploitative material was ‘not indicted’ by the prosecution… Why?

The court issued a payment order to a company that failed to deliver the price of goods while acquiring a supplier through a subsidiary, saying, "As a matter of practice, the representative's seal is omitted, and the signature of an internal employee is also effective." On the 6th of last month, the Cheonan branch of the Daejeon District Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff in a lawsuit claiming the price of goods brought by company A, a delivery company, against company B, an automobile parts sales company. Company A, which had been paying products to company B for a long time, decided to discontinue business in 2022 due to worsening profitability. A subsidiary of Company B, a product procurement company, made a proposal to acquire the company, and Company A responded. During the acquisition process, the head of the purchasing team of Company B wrote a letter of agreement to pay for the goods to Company A. This included a promise to pay for the goods that Company A had been supplying. Even though the acquisition process was completed, a problem arose when Company B did not pay Company A. Company B denied the fact of the contract with Company A. This is because the company they signed the contract with is a subsidiary and there is no reason to pay for the goods to Company A, which was only in charge of consignment production. They also denied the effect of the payment confirmation letter. Company B defended, saying, “The document in question was written personally by an internal employee and cannot be viewed as an official document. Even if it is effective, this part should be deducted because approximately 19 million won has already been transferred to Company A’s corporate bank account.” Company A launched a rebuttal. This is because, in the process of delivering goods over a long period of time, settlement payments have always been received from Company B’s purchasing team. The claim surrounding 19 million won was also not accepted. Company A countered, saying, "At the time Company B remitted the amount, the right to use the bankbook had already been transferred to the subsidiary that acquired Company A, so we never received the money." The court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, stating that Company B must pay Company A approximately 61 million won. The court explained, "It is acknowledged that the two companies have maintained a business relationship for a considerable period of time. As a result, the head of the purchasing team, not the company representative, decided on the settlement amount and promised to pay it." The court said, "Due to this practice, there were no significant objections even if the seal of Company B's representative, etc., was omitted on the confirmation letter. Therefore, it is correct that Company B decided to pay the money." Regarding the deductible amount, Company B did not accept the claim, saying, "Company B sent money despite knowing that Company A's bank account was managed by its subsidiary according to the corporate transfer agreement," and "This cannot be considered fair debt repayment." Attorney Ji Min-hee of Daeryun Law Firm (Limited), who represented Company A, said, "In practice, even if the signature is not directly signed by the CEO but by the head of the purchasing team, it is often considered valid based on transaction practices," adding, "This ruling appears to be a reasonable ruling that appropriately reflects these commercial practices." said.[View full article] “The contract is valid even without the representative’s seal”… Court orders payment to business partners (link)

Elementary school students who molested and bullied classmates in the same elementary school were handed over to the juvenile division of the court. It was confirmed that the Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Police Agency transferred Boy A (12 years old), who was suspected of violating the Act on Sexual Protection of Children and Adolescents, to the juvenile division of Changwon District Court at the end of October. Juveniles between the ages of 10 and 14 who commit acts that violate the juvenile law are considered criminal minors and are subject to protective measures instead of criminal punishment. Person A is accused of exposing part of the body of his classmate, Person B, by pulling down his pants in an elementary school classroom in June 2023. According to the police investigation results, it was confirmed that Group B has suffered from group bullying since 2020. It was confirmed that they habitually harassed Group B, including swearing and teasing him for no reason. In addition, it was revealed that there were acts of physical violence. Another classmate, C, swung a chessboard and hit B on the head. Currently, C is being sent to the juvenile division of the Changwon District Court on charges of special assault. At the School Violence Countermeasures Review Committee (School Violence Committee) held later, Group B mentioned that they were suffering serious trauma due to bullying by the offending students and insisted on severe punishment for them. Group B's legal representative emphasized that severe punishment should be imposed, citing the fact that the violence of the perpetrators has reached a serious level and that the victims are unable to continue their studies due to the school violence that has continued for a long time. The school violence committee, which accepted this claim, decided to impose sanctions on the offending students, including a ban on contact (No. 2), school volunteer work (No. 3), special education (No. 5), and suspension of attendance (No. 6). The maximum punishment for school violence is possible, up to expulsion (No. 9). The police who investigated this case acknowledged the perpetrators' charges of forcible molestation and decided to send them to the juvenile department. Attorney Kim Dae-su of Daeryun Law Firm (Lihan), who is the legal representative for the victim student B, said, “In the case of a victim student, he or she must explain in detail the damage he or she has suffered to the school violence committee or the police, and the psychological damage suffered by the victim in this process is also great.” “We were able to resolve the injustice, and based on the future results, we plan to proceed with the civil lawsuit in an advantageous manner,” he said.[View full article] Elementary school students who committed school violence by ‘hitting the head with a chessboard and even sexually harassing’... sent to the juvenile department (link)
