Overview
In September 2022, Yoon & Yang LLC launched the GRC Center by combining the existing Policy Analysis TF Team, Legislative Consulting Team, and the CVC Investment Consulting Team. The GRC Center aims to offer new services that are different from other law firms, based on accumulated expertise over past decades in successfully undertaking tasks in conventional regulatory fields (i.e., criminal, fair trade, finance, HR and labor) as well as utilization of personnel networks to enable smooth communication with a number of relevant government officials, policymakers, local government bodies and industrial players.
Of particular note, Yoon & Yang’s GRC Center seeks to think outside of the traditional litigation and arbitration means and coordinate various interests through a more diversified and creative method of resolving disputes. In so doing, this will maximize efficiency in handling legal matters by resolving disputes in a prompt manner at a more affordable cost for clients.
