What is the main purpose of a merger and acquisition?

I heard that our company is going to undergo a merger and acquisition this time, but I simply cannot understand why it is being done. Even when I search, only the basic definition of a merger and acquisition comes up, and there is nowhere that explains in detail why it is done. Could you tell me what the main purpose of a merger and acquisition is?

Is an accident that occurs outside the workplace also recognized as an occupational accident?

Hello. I was in an accident while handling work during a visit to an outside client at the company's direction. The place of the accident was not the company's workplace but overlapped with a route I personally used, so can it still be recognized as an occupational accident in this case? I would like to know whether it might be difficult to file for industrial accident compensation because it could be seen as a personal accident.

Should I retain a drunk driving attorney?

I have a prior record of being sentenced to a fine for drunk driving, and recently I was caught driving under the influence again. My blood alcohol concentration was not particularly high, but because I already have one prior conviction, I am worried that the punishment will be heavier. In particular, I heard that if a person commits drunk driving two or more times within ten years, the sentence becomes higher than for a first offense, so I would like to know whether there is a real possibility of an actual custodial sentence and whether retaining a drunk driving attorney is truly necessary in this case.

Can a school violence victim also receive personal protection?

Hello. I am a mother with a child in high school. My son suffered school violence so persistently that I filed a report, but he has not gone to school for several days because he is afraid of retaliation. So I looked into it and found that Daeryun has a personal protection system for school violence victims. Can a high school student also receive protection? Or is it available only to adults?

What disadvantages arise if a request to submit materials is refused during an accounting audit?

I am in a situation where I could not submit all the materials right away during an accounting audit, so could this too become a problem as a refusal of the accounting audit? I have never directly refused the audit, but I am curious whether submitting materials late or providing only part of them can also be subject to punishment. In addition, if such a matter is recognized as a violation of the External Audit Act, I would like to know the level of punishment and the direction of my future response.

I need to respond to charges of violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act. How should I respond?

I am a business owner who runs a factory. Recently, an accident occurred at the site in which a worker died while handling heavy objects, and I am being investigated by an investigative agency on charges of violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act and occupational negligence causing death. During the investigation, several points were raised as problems, such as the failure to prepare a work plan, the insufficient marking of the maximum permissible load, and the failure to conduct a safety test on the self-manufactured heavy-object handling equipment. In the circumstances leading to the accident, there was also arbitrary work conduct by the worker, and yet I am greatly worried about whether all responsibility will be attributed to me. In a case of violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act in which a worker's death occurred, I wonder in what direction I should respond from the early stage of the investigation in order to avoid an actual custodial sentence.. I am also considering whether I must retain an attorney.

How is a digital forensic investigation conducted?

I am preparing a criminal complaint because I suspect I was the victim of illegal filming by my ex-boyfriend. There are circumstances suggesting that illegally filmed images of me are stored on my ex-boyfriend's mobile phone, and I am curious whether a digital forensic investigation can actually find those videos or photos, and how the investigation proceeds. I would also like to know whether my ex-boyfriend can be held criminally liable based on the digital forensic results alone.
