Kwon Nae-geon, former Legal Counsel at the Ministry of Justice (Judicial Research and Training Institute 35th class, Deputy Chief Prosecutor), who has extensive experience in both public security, serious crime investigations, and human rights protection, was recently recruited as a partner attorney at Trinity Law Firm.

Attorney Kwon, who graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in law, was appointed as a prosecutor at the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office in 2006. He then held a series of key positions within the prosecution service, including the Public Security Planning Division of the Ministry of Justice, Deputy Chief Prosecutor at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, Head of Criminal Division 3 at the Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office, Director of Human Rights Planning at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, and Public Relations Officer at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office. He concluded his public service career last April as Legal Counsel at the Ministry of Justice.

Attorney Kwon demonstrated his investigative capabilities by leading major cases in frontline investigative departments. In particular, during his tenure as head prosecutor at the Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office, he handled the socially impactful "Yongsan Apartment Police Officer Fall Death" case, where he uncovered the reality of a new type of drug-using group involving 25 people, including an active police officer, and brought them to trial. Another of his notable achievements this year was the indictment of a U.S. citizen with overseas Korean status who committed a knife rampage in the heart of downtown on New Year’s Day.

Behind his sharp investigative skills lies a warm sense of human rights sensitivity, caring for the marginalized. He is the only male prosecutor to currently hold the "Blue Belt" (Level 2 Certified Specialist Prosecutor) certification in the field of women and family policy from the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office. While serving at the Daejeon District Prosecutors’ Office, he set a precedent as the "first case" by exercising prosecutorial authority to file a birth report for a neglected abused child. He also pioneered the "conditional non-prosecution with education requirement" disposition in sexual violence cases involving people with developmental disabilities, and played a key role in introducing the dedicated prosecutor system for developmental disabilities within the prosecution service.

Attorney Kwon will be responsible for a wide range of areas, including ▲corporate legal affairs and advisory services ▲corporate risk management ▲legal issues related to people with disabilities ▲general civil and criminal litigation.
