"Leading the Protection of Senior and Youth Rights"

Presenting a New Model for Corporate ESG and CSR Initiatives

YK Law Firm (Co-Lead Attorneys Kang Kyunghoon and Kim Beomhan) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the 21st with the Korea Senior Vision Alliance, a non-profit organization (President Cha Heungbong) that supports seniors and youth.

Through this MOU, YK plans to present a new model of cooperation that goes beyond one-off free legal consultations by establishing a systematic "integrated social contribution model" encompassing both seniors and youth. This initiative aims to respond to the growing needs of companies for ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and CSR (corporate social responsibility) initiatives.

On this day, YK held the MOU signing ceremony with the Korea Senior Vision Alliance at its main office in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. From YK, the ceremony was attended by Kang Kyunghoon, Lead Attorney; Kwon Soonil, former Supreme Court Justice; Kim Jihun, attorney; and Ko Eun, attorney. From the Korea Senior Vision Alliance, key participants included Cha Heungbong, President; Park Seongbo, CEO; Park Youngae, Vice President; and Lee Hyunggeol, Secretary General.

The Korea Senior Vision Alliance is a non-profit corporation under the Ministry of Health and Welfare that carries out public interest projects by leveraging the expertise of retired professionals. Based on 49 senior professional clubs nationwide, the alliance creates social value on the ground through activities such as youth career mentoring and humanities lectures for seniors.

The organization originated from the Korea Aged Society Vision Alliance, founded in 2009 by President Cha, a former Minister of Health and Welfare. In 2020, it was established as an integrated corporation, merging with the Korea Senior Vocational Association—which was founded in 2016 and approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

In 2023, the alliance carried out public interest support projects for both the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Health and Welfare. In 2024, it was designated as a certified organization for the "2024 Social Contribution Partners Day" project, hosted by the Korea National Council on Social Welfare.

YK stated, "The core of this agreement is not merely business cooperation, but presenting a new model of collaboration tailored to the rapidly growing demand for corporate ESG and CSR activities. By combining the alliance's robust public interest project infrastructure with YK's legal expertise, we plan to jointly develop practical social contribution programs that companies can trust and participate in."

To this end, YK will play the role of a reliable "legal shield" throughout various public interest initiatives—from legal education for youth to prevent school violence and cybercrime, to practical legal advice for seniors on matters such as inheritance, wills, and responses to voice phishing.

President Cha Heungbong of the alliance stated, "We are very pleased to form a meaningful partnership with the dynamically growing YK Law Firm. At such a critical time as our society enters a super-aged era, the addition of YK's legal support will greatly help seniors in our society enjoy a more stable and vibrant later life."

Kang Kyunghoon, Lead Attorney of YK, commented, "As a young law firm, YK is firmly committed to genuinely contributing practical help to our society. We deeply empathize with the alliance's meaningful efforts and will do our utmost to fully leverage our collaborative system to protect the legal rights of alliance members and to provide tangible support to vulnerable groups."
