Law Firm Kwangjang, led by Managing Partner Kim Sang-gon, announced on September 2 that it will hold a large-scale online and offline seminar on September 10. The seminar will address key issues and responses related to corporate safety and labor management following the implementation of the Major Disaster Punishment Law and the Yellow Envelope Law.


The seminar is co-hosted by Kwangjang's Labor Group and Major Disaster Center, featuring veteran experts including former Minister of Employment and Labor Ahn Kyung-deok and Kwangjang's Managing Partner Kim Hu-gon, a former chief prosecutor at the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office. They will share the latest legal trends and practical insights.


In the first session, attorney Hong Jeong-yeon (37th Judicial Research and Training Institute) will present on 'Recent Trends in the Major Disaster Punishment Law and Prospects Following Revisions to Criminal Procedure Law.' Hong previously served as a dispatched prosecutor at the Ministry of Employment and Labor and as the head of the Labor Investigation Support Division at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office before joining Kwangjang this year after 18 years as a prosecutor.


The second session will feature labor and compliance experts, attorney Lee Jeong-woo (37th Judicial Research and Training Institute) and attorney Oh Yong-soo (41st Judicial Research and Training Institute), discussing 'Practical Issues Following the Implementation of the Yellow Envelope Law.'


A Q&A session will include the presenters from the earlier sessions, along with attorneys Lee Sang-hyun (33rd Judicial Research and Training Institute), Song Hyun-seok (34th Judicial Research and Training Institute), and Kim Young-jin (35th Judicial Research and Training Institute) to facilitate in-depth discussions.


Kwangjang's Labor Group and Major Disaster Center stated, 'While the Major Disaster Punishment Law and the Labor Union Law originate from different areas, they both require a reassessment of corporate safety and labor management systems.' They added, 'Based on our accumulated advisory and litigation experience, we aim to provide practical solutions to the challenges faced in the field.'


Registration for the seminar can be completed on Kwangjang's website under the 'Seminar - Seminar Information' section.
