In addition to the corporate donation of 100 million KRW, Daeryuk Aju plans to provide additional contributions once the fundraising by affiliated lawyers, advisors, and employees is completed.
Daeryuk Aju also plans to provide legal support centered around the Public Interest Committee (Chairman Kim Yong-heon, former Secretary General of the Constitutional Court). They will actively assist with legal issues related to the affected residents, including ▲damage assessment and compensation application support ▲receipt of insurance payments for victims ▲legal matters concerning housing reconstruction and relocation ▲relief for damages to farmers and livestock producers. If the relevant local governments request support, specialized lawyers and advisors will provide active assistance.
Chief Attorney Lee said, "I offer my deepest condolences to the residents who lost their families and homes in the worst wildfire in history," and added, "We will take the lead in legal support with the hope that the affected areas will be restored quickly and residents can return to their daily lives."
