The seminar will consist of three sessions followed by a panel discussion. First, Yoon & Yang attorney Kim Geunho will present on "An Introduction to the Board of Audit and Inspection's Prior Consulting System and Key Cases." He will explain when and how the Board of Audit and Inspection's prior consulting system can be used as a means of resolving disputes, and present practical ways to apply it through key cases.

Lee Chanjong, director of the Contract Dispute Review Division at the Ministry of Finance and Economy, and Kim Jieun, director of the Accounting and Contract System Division at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, will then discuss recent policy changes and key deliberation and mediation cases related to "National Contract Dispute Mediation" and "Local Contract Deliberation and Mediation."

Yoon & Yang attorney Park Suhyeon will also present on "How to Use Construction Arbitration and Recent Awards." Focusing on practical arbitration strategies and know-how for resolving public contract disputes, he will discuss arbitration models linked to the Board of Audit and Inspection's prior consulting system, as well as the case of the GTX-C project, which had been delayed for more than two years and was resolved through arbitration in about 100 days.

Yoon & Yang attorney Jeong Won will moderate the panel discussion following the presentations. The panelists will include Byeon Junyeong, head of a division at the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board; Kim Jihyeon, director of the Board of Audit and Inspection's Second Prior Consulting Division; Yoon & Yang attorney Lee Oyeong, a former presiding judge of the construction division at the Seoul Central District Court; and Yoon & Yang adviser Son Changdong, a former audit committee member and second deputy secretary general at the Board of Audit and Inspection.

Hong Seunggu, head of Yoon & Yang's Construction and Public Procurement Group, said, "The paradigm for resolving public contract disputes is shifting from a litigation-centered approach to proactive responses such as prior consulting, mediation, and arbitration." He added, "We hope this seminar will help public-sector and corporate practitioners gain a deeper understanding of the changing dispute resolution landscape and develop optimal strategies that can be applied immediately in practice."

The seminar is for employees of public institutions and nonprofit organizations, as well as corporate practitioners involved in public contracts, and participation is free. Registration is available in advance through Yoon & Yang's official website. As seating is limited, registration may close early. End.
