Attorney Jiwon MIN a Partner at IPG Legal Law Firm in South Korea was Featured in The Korean Times Newspaper

Attorney Jiwon MIN, a partner at IPG Legal Law Office in Seoul, Korea, and one of Korea’s leading family and estate lawyers, was featured in The Korea Times, a major English-language newspaper in Korea.

In the article, Attorney MIN empathically criticized the long-standing neglect by the Korean Government in enforcing child return orders under the Hague Child Abduction Convention.

Attorney Min’s and IPG Legal’s efforts and criticisms in numerous cases involving the enforcement of Child Abduction Return Orders in Korea, led to the Supreme Court of Korea amending enforcement mechanisms and implementing a ballif enforcement system, that is far from perfect, but is a good first step in expediting the return of abducted children from Korea to the place of habitual residence. IPG Legal shall be pushing for an even more effective system to enforce child abduction and custody orders and assisting the Supreme Court of Korea and embassies in Korea in building an effective and efficient path to the enforcement of child return orders under the Hague Convention on Child Abduction.

In the article in The Korea Times, Attorney Min highlighted the severe emotional stress to the children, parental alienation issues, harm the lack of an adequate enforcement mechanism has on the children, and how it is an embarrassment to Korea for the designation of Korea as a non-compliant nation by the U.S. State Department for consecutive years for failure to comply with treaty obligations under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.

IPG Legal, in the matter mentioned in the article, was successful in the return of the children to the States in a battle that took over two years and required non-judicial measures. IPG Legal is one of the only law firms in Korea that succeeded in the enforcement of child return orders in cases where the abducting parent in Korea was unwilling to voluntarily comply with court orders, IPG Legal is the first law firm in Korea that was successful in enforcing a child return order under the new enforcement mechanisms in a contentious matter and one of the first to work collaboratively with law firms throughout the world.

IPG Legal’ Family Law Team under the leadership of Attorney Jiwon MIN and supported by NY Attorney Sean Hayes (only non-Korean attorney to have worked for the Korean court system) and Judge Jung (retired senior Korean court judge and a former administrative head of the Constitutional Court of Korea) handled successfully the largest number of contentious international child abduction matters in Korea.
