[Economy Chosun] Techniques of a Law Firm | Lee & Ko

On June 22, 2022, Economy Chosun carried an article which featured the strategies of the Lee & Ko team comprising Chan Ik Chang, Dong Kyu Yu and Dong Hyo Moon, which achieved a reversal of the lower court decision in the appellate proceeding of the “Yoido Kwangjang Apartment” case which lasted 3 years. According to Economy Chosun, the primary factors leading to the successful outcome were the meticulous search of materials including an all-out search of the relevant real estate registers, and legal analysis founded on Supreme Court precedents, on the premise that the legality of divisive reconstruction is dependent on the question as to what the “origin standards” of the apartment complex are. The newspaper also predicted that reconstruction projects in the Yoido area, which adopt the trust method, will become active with this court decision.
