Attorney Shin has built an extensive career over approximately 14 years in major prosecutorial investigation departments, specializing in financial, securities, and tax investigations, as well as in corruption and corporate crime cases.

According to Bae, Kim & Lee LLC on May 13, Attorney Shin has served in key departments, starting with the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office, the Financial and Securities Crime Joint Investigation Division and Financial Investigation Division 2 at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office—often called the "cradle of financial crimes"—and the Joint Investigation Team for National Fiscal Crimes at the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office. Attorney Shin has proven his practical capabilities while handling crimes related to the capital markets, accounting fraud, and fiscal crime cases. He has also served as the head of the Special Investigation Division at the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office and as the Chief of the Criminal Division 3 at the Seongnam Branch, being in charge of complex corruption and economic crime investigations, including embezzlement, breach of trust, and public official corruption.

With a track record of directly reviewing and voting on financial regulation and sanction agendas, he is recognized not only for his ability to respond to investigations, but also for his comprehensive understanding of regulatory authority mechanisms.

Managing Partner Jonghan Oh stated that as corporate criminal risk becomes more complex, intersecting with finance, capital markets, fair trade, and other sectors, the addition of Attorney Shin, who has extensive practical experience, will enable the firm to respond with even greater precision. With this, the Criminal Group at Bae, Kim & Lee LLC, led by Managing Partners Mooil Moon and Youngsoo Jang, now boasts a mammoth team of over 80 experts from both prosecutorial and police backgrounds.
