Law Firm Dongin has elected attorney Won Chang-yeon, a member of the Judicial Research and Training Institute’s 28th class, as its fourth managing partner.
Dongin said it chose Won at a general meeting of its members held on the 27th at its headquarters in Seocho-dong, Seoul.
Won graduated from Yonsei University with a degree in political science and diplomacy, earned a master’s in law from Yonsei University’s Graduate School of Legal Studies, and completed an M&A practice program at Seoul National University’s specialized legal studies course.
He is known for corporate legal work including mergers and acquisitions, management control disputes, securities and capital markets, and corporate restructuring, and has handled numerous M&A and control-dispute cases.
In a statement, Won said he would "develop a rational system" and recruit talent across fields, adding that he would pursue M&A between law firms and strengthen competitiveness through artificial intelligence-based innovation.
Founded in 2004, Dongin has expanded through mergers with firms including Human and Dain. It now has about 230 attorneys.
Dongin said it plans to use the leadership change to strengthen internal operations and improve external competitiveness.
