[Weekly Dong-Ah] Lee & Ko’s Labor Compliance Team Offers Comprehensive Services to Companies Concerned About the “Yellow Envelope Act”

On September 15, 2025, Weekly Dong-Ah featured the Labor Compliance Team of Lee & Ko. The article noted that “Lee & Ko recruited former Minister of Employment and Labor Ahn Kyung-deok (33rd Higher Civil Service Examination) as a senior advisor in May and launched a new “Labor Compliance Team,” and that “the team is led by Mr. Chang-soo Jin and comprises more than 50 experts, including former judges and prosecutors, labor-specialist attorneys, former officials from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and certified labor consultants.”

In the interview, Mr. Jin stated: “In the past, companies often responded to labor issues in a piecemeal and ex post manner; however, with the imminent implementation of the “Yellow Envelope Act,” proactive responses to the significant, unavoidable changes in labor-management relations have become increasingly necessary. In particular, where social awareness of industrial accidents has grown, prevention is critical. To address new labor issues effectively, a comprehensive one-stop service is essential, and for that reason we launched the Labor Compliance Team by assembling professionals with the highest level of expertise across the various fields implicated in labor matters.
