Jaeho Hwang

Profile

Jaeho Hwang is a specialist attorney in corporate rehabilitation and bankruptcy, real estate, and all types of compensation and damages claims. He handles corporate advisory, construction-related progress payment, defects, damages, electrical and telecommunications works, and compensation matters.

1. Corporate Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy

Amid prolonged economic downturn, the number of companies seeking rehabilitation or bankruptcy proceedings under the Korean Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act (chaemuja hoesaeng beob) continues to rise. Drawing on extensive case experience and accumulated know-how, Mr. Hwang delivers optimal solutions tailored to each company’s circumstances. His principal objective is to help distressed companies recover quickly and obtain appropriate debt relief, so that they can regain hope and resume operations within the shortest possible timeframe.

2. Class Actions and Advisory

Class actions allow multiple victims with common interests to seek redress collectively through a representative, and are particularly effective when individual damages are small and separate litigation would be inefficient. Mr. Hwang handles securities class actions involving system failures and mis-selling.

3. Real Estate Litigation, Advisory and Permits

Real estate requires deep familiarity with the law. Mr. Hwang handles pre-sale, purchase, lease, defect, damages, and permit matters. Drawing on his longstanding relationship with Korea Land & Housing Corporation, he specializes in land compensation, local housing cooperative (jiyeok jutaek johap) cases, and electrical construction disputes.

4. Financial Fraud and Voice Phishing — Civil and Criminal

Mr. Hwang handles financial fraud, Capital Markets Act violations, and increasingly sophisticated voice phishing and smishing crimes — providing prevention advisory, victim compensation claims, damages, and defense representation for those who are simultaneously victims and suspects.

5. Automobile, Industrial Accident and Insurance — Civil and Criminal

Mr. Hwang provides in-depth analysis of rights protection methods against the Korea Workers Compensation and Welfare Service and insurance companies, offering multi-faceted advisory and litigation beyond conventional lawsuits.

6. Clan Property Advisory and Litigation

Korean clan organizations (jongjung) are unincorporated associations, and these cases often involve insufficient documentation. Mr. Hwang thoroughly analyzes these complex matters, uncovers available evidence, and pursues litigation to protect clan property rights.
