About

Yoon & Yang's Employment and Labor Practice Group is balanced between litigation and advisory services, with each composing approximately half of the group’s practice. In relation to litigation, the Practice Group recently advised various foreign and domestic clients regarding "illegal employee dispatches," "discrimination among different type of employees," "implementation of the performance-based salary system," "protection of non-regular employees," and "ordinary wage" issues. The Practice Group frequently advises clients on employment-related matters, including general HR issues, the performance-based salary system and employment issues in mergers and acquisitions.
