Attorney Lee has previously served as the Director of Public Investigation Planning at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, and as Head of Public Investigation Divisions in the Seoul Central, Gwangju, and Incheon District Prosecutors’ Offices. While at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, he led industrial safety cases nationwide and, as a public security division chief at various prosecutor’s offices, directly handled industrial safety and serious accident cases. At the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office, which specializes in financial crimes, he served as both First and Second Deputy Chief Prosecutor, accumulating extensive experience in corporate criminal cases and financial investigations.

Recently, Bae, Kim & Lee LLC also strengthened its labor expertise by recruiting Labor Consultant Junho Son, who previously worked for the Serious Accident Investigation Division at the Gwangju Regional Employment and Labor Office, and Labor Consultant Dongjun Ma, who held positions as Head of the Industrial Accident Prevention Guidance Team at the Ulsan District and Busan Regional Employment and Labor Offices. These two professionals support companies in establishing compliance systems and responding to incidents, leveraging their extensive field experience in industrial safety supervision and serious accident investigations.

With these new additions, Bae, Kim & Lee LLC plans to enhance its ability to handle every stage of serious accident cases—including not just criminal response after an incident, but also initial on-site actions, investigations by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, police and prosecutor investigations, and civil and criminal disputes.

Hyungseok Lee, Managing Partner at Bae, Kim & Lee LLC, stated, "By combining the experience of our recently recruited experts, we will further advance our integrated response system covering everything from accident prevention, investigation, and prosecution, to dispute resolution."
