Fine imposed in an obstruction of business case involving hiring fraud at a large company

The client, an executive responsible for hiring at a large company, was indicted for obstructing the company's hiring process by taking part in improper hiring. Attorney Jaehoon Lee represented the client.

The key issues were the specific extent of the client's involvement in the hiring fraud and the scope of his responsibility, and the appropriate sentence in light of those facts.

Attorney Lee reviewed the hiring process, the client's role at work and how he became involved, and focused his defense on the individual circumstances that set the client apart from the others involved.

The court sentenced the client to a fine of KRW 7 million, and the fine was upheld on appeal.
