Law Firm YK Signs MOU With Korea Senior Vision Federation to Expand Legal Aid for Seniors and Youth

Large law firm YK and the Korea Senior Vision Federation have signed a partnership agreement aimed at expanding structured public-interest legal support for seniors and youth, moving beyond one-off free consultations.

According to the legal community on the 21st, the memorandum of understanding ceremony was held at YK’s main office in Seoul’s Gangnam district. Attending for YK were managing partner Kang Gyeong-hun, Kwon Soon-il, a former Supreme Court justice, and attorneys Kim Ji-hoon and Guk Go-eun. The federation was represented by Chair Cha Heung-bong, a former health and welfare minister, along with CEO Park Seong-bo, Vice Chair Park Yeong-ae and Secretary General Lee Hyeong-geol.

The Korea Senior Vision Federation is a nonprofit incorporated association under the Ministry of Health and Welfare that carries out public-interest projects by drawing on the expertise of retired professionals. It operates 49 senior vocational clubs nationwide and runs programs including youth career mentoring and humanities lectures for older adults.

The two sides said the agreement is intended to present a new cooperation model aligned with rising demand for corporate ESG and CSR initiatives. The plan is to combine the federation’s public-interest infrastructure with YK’s legal expertise to jointly develop social contribution programs that companies can trust and join.

YK said it will provide tailored legal support across the projects, including legal education for youth on preventing school violence and cybercrime, and practical guidance for seniors on inheritance and wills and responding to voice-phishing scams.

Cha said, “I am very pleased to form a meaningful partnership with the dynamically growing Law Firm YK,” adding, “At this critical time as we enter a super-aged society, if YK’s legal support is added, it will be a great help for seniors in our society to enjoy a more stable and active later life.”

Kang said, “As a young law firm, YK has a firm commitment to sincerely provide practical help to our society,” and added, “We deeply sympathize with the federation’s meaningful efforts, and we will do our best to make a real contribution to protecting the legal rights and interests of its members and supporting vulnerable groups by fully leveraging an organic collaboration system.”
