DR & AJU Legislation & Government Relations Consulting Center’s latest issue of its specialized legislative journal, the Policy & Business Report, is now available in digital format.
On November 30, 2021, the Legislative Strategy Center (represented by Head of the Center Dong Eon CHA) of DR & AJU LLC (represented by Managing Partner Kyu Chul LEE) released the November 2021 issue of the specialized legislative journal, the Policy & Business (P&B) Report.
Mr. Dong Eon CHA, head of the Legislative Strategy Center, stated, “As of today, 150 ESG-related bills have been introduced in the 21st National Assembly. The National Assembly has also shown a great interest in legislations addressing ESG-related social and economic issues.” He further mentioned, “In light of the post-COVID-19 era’s reorganization of international relations and competitions for technological hegemony, not only is it necessary to increase the competitive capacity of companies, but the government and the National Assembly must also provide comprehensive support.”
Mr. Seung Cheol LEE, a Senior Advisor at DR & AJU, emphasized, “To achieve carbon neutrality, we must put our heads together to establish a thorough strategy, taking into account all of our companies’ technologies, with the full support of the government.” He mentioned, “Considering the economic structure of our society, which has been built on the competitive manufacturing-based technology, we should view this challenging task of achieving carbon neutrality as an opportunity for advancement and tackle it through technological innovation. If a corporation fully adopts and executes law observance of the ESG era, it will serve as an opportunity for growth.”
As the first-ever Korean law firm to issue specialized legislative journals, DR & AJU LLC has been publishing the monthly Policy & Business Report since August 2019. Based on a comprehensive evaluation of the legislation proposed to the National Assembly Subcommittee, Standing Committee, and Plenary Session from October 15, 2021 to November 14, 2021, the November 2021 issue of the P&B Report selects and analyzes legislation that significantly impacts corporate activities. Especially for major Acts, key quotes from legislators, members of the Standing Committee, and government officials are included.
Mr. Kyu Chul LEE, the Managing Partner of DR & AJU, said, “DR & AJU established the Serious Accidents Practice Group in early 2021 to help corporate executives better mitigate the potential legal risks posed by the new Serious Accidents Punishment Act (“SAPA”), which came into effect on January 27, 2022. Mr. Lee stressed, “Drawing on our experience and practical expertise, we will provide full legal support by preemptively conducting a thorough examination on the reinforced safety and health obligations and proposing effective countermeasures against various upcoming difficulties for businesses to prevent problems after the law’s implementation.”
