Victim A, who suffered a sex crime three years ago, was forced to drive a vehicle while intoxicated while running away from the perpetrator's crime. Mr. A was investigated as a victim, but was instead handed over to trial on charges of drunk driving. Roel Law Firm, which defended Mr. A, received a not guilty verdict in the first trial by arguing that he was drunk driving in order to urgently escape a crisis situation, thus delegitimizing the illegality of emergency evacuation. In addition, when Mr. A's license was revoked, we assisted in the relief process, including filing an administrative appeal.
However, the prosecution did not indict the perpetrator on the grounds that there was no physical evidence other than Mr. A's statement. Mr. A tried to appeal or apply for financial assistance, but received an answer that it was impossible because he had not submitted a complaint directly. Roel proposed a solution to file a constitutional complaint against Mr. A, and ultimately received a decision to cancel the prosecution's non-indictment decision. This case is being reinvestigated.
Representative attorney Lee Tae-ho (43rd class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute) said, “As can be seen in Mr. A’s case, Roel handles trials, administrative trials, and constitutional appeals through 17 dedicated centers, including criminal, military, sex crimes, drugs, divorce, inheritance, and real estate. “We aim to be a comprehensive law firm that provides ‘one-stop legal services’ ranging from .
● ‘One firm system’ in which 16 sprays move as one body
Roel, which started in 2015 with three people, including CEO Lee and CEO Wonhwa Lee (43rd class), has grown rapidly to reach 102 lawyers (14th among all law firms) within 8 years of opening.
The background to Roel’s growth is the ‘one firm system’ in which 16 branch offices across the country, including Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, and Seongnam, operate as one office. It is evaluated that it has achieved an upward standardization of legal services by assigning the optimal lawyer suited to the characteristics of the case, no matter where the request is made to the branch located in 16 regions. When the first branch opened in Busan in 2018, CEO Lee was living in Busan and was ‘sincere’ in revitalizing local legal services, so much so that he personally handled litigation.
In a dispute over interest between farmers that occurred in Hongseong-gun, South Chungcheong Province, the Daejeon branch took charge of on-site verification and the Seoul head office took charge of legal review, resulting in a victory. In a criminal case in the Busan area involving clients who came to the Seoul head office, the Busan branch collaborated with the Busan branch to obtain a non-indictment and execute the case. The case of receiving a suspended sentence clearly demonstrates the efficiency of the one-firm system.
As the corporation grows, Roel is strengthening its ability to respond to criminal cases by recruiting professionals from all walks of life. Recently, CEO Choi Chang-moo (22nd class), who has 10 years of experience as a prosecutor and 20 years of experience as a lawyer, was recruited to add to his experience and experience. There are many former police officers, including former judges and prosecutors as well as representative lawyer Kim Hyun-woo (43rd class), who graduated from the police academy. Based on this, Roel has created success stories in over 5,300 criminal cases, which are disclosed on the website.
● A new leader in real estate and financial advisory
To carry out a large-scale real estate development project, project financing (PF), which raises funds using the future value of the project as collateral, is essential. The PF market, where hundreds of billions of won worth of money moves, was a ‘league of its own’ where only the so-called ‘major law firms’ provided advice.
Roel's PF team, led by representative attorney Jeong Tae-geun (43rd class), is recognized as a new powerhouse in the PF market, leaving behind significant success stories. From the Banyan Tree Haeundae Busan development project with a transaction size of KRW 375 billion, to the Onsu subway area revitalization project where sales revenue was expected to be more than KRW 2 trillion, and the Jeju city park private special project with an estimated project cost of KRW 490 billion, all were carried out by Roel PF. It's the team's performance. Since last year, lawyer Jong-beom Kang (42nd class), who has been handling real estate and financial advisory work, including PF, at Kim & Chang Law Offices, joined.
Based on its wealth of experience, the Roel PF team provided nearly 1,000 real estate and finance-related advisory services last year alone. CEO Jeong said, “The Roel PF team is operating on the largest scale as a single team in the Korean legal market,” and “It is recognized for providing the highest level of legal advisory services relatively quickly and directly.”
