Law firm Jipyong has launched a response center to provide comprehensive legal support to stakeholders throughout the entire election process ahead of the June 3 local elections.
Jipyong announced on the 3rd the launch of the "June 3 Local Election Response Center," led by attorney Kim Jin-kwon, who heads the firm's Public Policy Solutions Center. To strengthen its capacity for political judgment and advisory services related to election law, the center recruited Yoon Seok-geun, former director of the Election Policy Office at the National Election Commission, as an advisor last month. Key members include Managing Partner Yoon Sung-won and attorney Oh Ja-sung, both of whom handled numerous election and political fund law violation cases during their tenures as judges and prosecutors.
Considering the unique nature of elections, the center plans to provide a phased response system covering everything from investigations to criminal proceedings, including legal review before actions are taken, record management in preparation for post-action issues, and immediate response when problems arise. The center will also comprehensively manage legal disputes throughout the election process, including defense against complaints and accusations related to election law violations and responses to election-related injunction applications.
"Elections require systematic legal counsel throughout the entire process, from candidacy preparation to post-election dispute resolution," said Center Director Kim Jin-kwon. "Through this center, we will establish a comprehensive advisory system and provide practical legal support."
