Law Firm Taepyungyang Strengthens Investigation Response by Recruiting Experts in Fair Trade, Corporate Investigation, and Forensics

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Law firm Tae-pyung-yang (hereinafter "Tae-pyung-yang", Representative Lawyer Seo Dong-woo) announced on the 24th that it has strengthened its investigation response capabilities by recruiting a special investigation division chief prosecutor and a digital forensic expert.

Attorney Kim Jeong-hwan (Judicial Research and Training Institute Class 33), who joins Tae-pyung-yang and formerly served as the Chief of Criminal Division 3 at the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office, gained investigative experience working in the special investigation division since his early days as a prosecutor at the Daegu District Prosecutors' Office. From 2014 to 2020, he served as deputy chief prosecutor and senior prosecutor at the Fair Trade Investigation Division, Special Investigation Division, and Food and Drug Investigation Division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, demonstrating outstanding capabilities in major fair trade cases, special investigations, and corporate finance cases.

In particular, he was recognized for his excellent skills and expertise in cases involving unfair support by major companies, unfair trade practices, internal transactions, bio-health, serious accidents, and citizen safety incidents. Attorney Kim is scheduled to work as part of Tae-pyung-yang's criminal group and will play a key role in the Fair Trade Investigation Response Center, Serious Accident Response Headquarters, and Risk Advisory Headquarters (Compliance).

Specialist Won Yong-gi, a former prosecutor investigator of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office Scientific Investigation Department, will join the Tae-pyung-yang Digital Forensic Center (Center Director Attorney Kim Kwang-jun). Specialist Won is an expert who worked for over 15 years at the prosecution, developing phishing blocking systems and demonstrating capabilities in cyber terrorism cases. He is recognized within the prosecution as an expert with outstanding knowledge in forensics, internal investigations, and virtual currency fields. Specialist Won will also collaborate with experts from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office Digital Investigation Division in Tae-pyung-yang's ENI (E-discovery & Investigation) team.

Jeon Byung-ha, the representative lawyer overseeing Tae-pyung-yang's litigation group, said, "By recruiting experts who will greatly enhance Tae-pyung-yang's expertise with their abundant investigative experience and specialized knowledge, we expect prosecution investigation responses to be more effective. The synergy effect of case responses will be increased through collaboration among experts who have accumulated know-how in each field over a long period."
