Yulchon and the University of Seoul Graduate School of Taxation Join Forces to Train Tax Law Specialists [Law Firm News]

[Financial News] Yulchon LLC is joining forces with the Graduate School of Taxation at the University of Seoul to strengthen its training of tax law specialists and its research capabilities. The plan is to combine the law firm's accumulated practical experience in tax matters with the graduate school's academic and educational strengths to improve the real-world applicability of tax law education and research.
Yulchon LLC and the Graduate School of Taxation at the University of Seoul said on the 1st that they had signed an industry-academic cooperation agreement to train tax law specialists and promote education and research.
The agreement was designed to enhance education and research capabilities in tax law while expanding ties between academia and legal practice. Tax law is a field that requires not only a theoretical understanding of tax statutes, but also a grasp of real-world issues such as tax authority decisions, tax appeals and tax audits. The two institutions plan to build a more practice-oriented foundation for education and research by combining academic study with field experience.
Specifically, they will jointly develop and operate educational programs to cultivate tax law specialists and promote joint industry-academic research. They will also run practice-oriented programs such as regular lectures, seminars and workshops.
Through this partnership, Yulchon plans to apply the experience it has built in tax-related legal services to education and research, while also feeding the graduate school's academic achievements back into practice. The goal is to create a virtuous cycle. Beyond simple personnel exchanges, the two sides aim to establish an industry-academic cooperation framework that connects education, research and legal practice.
Jeon Young-joon, co-head attorney of Yulchon's tax group, said, "Tax law is a field of law where theory and practice are very closely linked." He added, "Through this agreement, we will actively explore ways to apply Yulchon's practical experience to tax law education and research, and to use the graduate school's theoretical research achievements in practice."
