Mr. Chang Young Kwon is a partner in Jipyong's Labor & Employment Group and mainly advises and represents clients in diverse areas of general corporate, labor relations, construction and real estate, shipping and aviation, civil and criminal law, public administration, trade disputes, and medial disputes.

Before joining Jipyong in March 2017, Mr. Kwon had served as a judge at numerous courts since his completion of training at the Judicial Research and Training Institution and being commissioned as an apprentice judge in 1999. Mr. Kwon resigned as the Chief Judge of Uijeongbu District Court.

During his 18-year service as a judge, Mr. Kwon handled many complex cases in various fields of law, including civil, commercial, criminal and administrative, preservation, tax, medical, religion, family, and insolvency cases at the Seoul High Court, Seoul Administrative Court, Seoul Western District Court, Seoul Southern District Court, Uijeongbu District Court, Chuncheon District Court, and Changwon District Court.

Since serving as a judge, Mr. Kwon has published professional papers on various issues. He published 33 books (12 books of his own work and 21 books under co-authorship) and more than 120 articles and papers.

Mr. Kwon has continued to pursue academic endeavors and has a Ph.D. in law from Seoul National University in the area of labor law. Mr. Kwon has also contributed to the publications of the Annotation for Labor Standards Act and the Annotation for the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act.
