You're Fired !

Now that she went to the office, when Lisa left, she took home the information about Hyunjae’s case. At the same time, she also took away another labor arbitration case that Hyunjae temporarily threw over her.

The case against Hyunjae is a large-scale layoff case. It is said to be a confrontation. In fact, it has not yet reached the court. At present, it is still in the stage of reconciliation and negotiation. Hyunjae represents the corporate side and Lisa represents the 300 employees to be laid off. The first negotiation is scheduled to be held in a week. There is still plenty of time.

Another temporary labor arbitration case is much more urgent. Although it was a dispute between an employee and the employer, the arbitration hearing will be held in three days.
Unlike other cases, labour dispute cases, in general,must first be submitted to the Labor Dispute Arbitration Commission for arbitration, and only if they are not satisfied with the arbitration can they go to the court to sue,rather than going directly to court first.

This case was originally taken up by a junior partner team at ZhaoHui, but when the team left, the lawyer in charge also left, and the case remained at ZhaoHui, so now Hyunjae has temporarily asked Lisa to represent this employee client.

Both the cases were serious but time taking. Lisa  decided to put the case against Hyunjae aside first and focus on the arbitration case that was temporarily added.

After a general review, she felt that under the premise that the Labor Law tends to protect workers, it was not too difficult to win this arbitration case.

The next day, she arrived at the office and called the client,Kim shin  to schedule an interview, and did not feel any pressure.

On the contrary, after learning that she was going to take the case against Hyunjae afterwards, one after another colleagues came over to express their sympathy and condolences to her.
“It’s okay, Lisa losing isn’t terrible.”

“Don’t worry, Lisa, losing to Jeon Jungkook is no big deal.”

????

Lisa was simply bewildered, “Why would I lose?”

Zhang Hal patted her shoulder, “Because Jeon Jungkook will always win.”

????

When Lisa inquired, she learned that almost all of her colleagues, without exception, had lost at the hands of Jeon Jungkook, and Zhang Hao was the first to suffer, losing eight times in a month at Jeon Jungkook’s hands.
“I always thought he was just a good-looking guy, but then I realised that this kid is really ruthless.” When Zhang Hao recalled those lost cases, he still gritted his teeth a bit, ” Partner Hyunjae is also considered to specialise in the field of labour disputes, right? I used to think that partner Hyunjae’s hourly rate for consultation was considered high, but this Jeon Jungkook, his hourly rate is twice as high as partner Hyunjae’s, and there is still a constant stream of people begging him!”

This was a bit of a surprise to Lisa. “Is it twice as much as Teacher Hyunjae? I’ve been a lawyer in A City for at least a year, so how come I’ve never heard of this Jungkook? And he is more powerful than teacher Hyunjae?”

“He came back from the US after you left, originally doing non-litigation in the US. Mainly accepting mergers and acquisitions, restructuring bankruptcy, but he suddenly returned to China and started doing labour law. Initially no one went to him for cases. At that time an American company had to close down an entire factory in China and transfer its production base to Vietnam. They fired more than 1000 employees at once. The legal circle had predicted that the American company would have to pay out 5 million dollars in financial compensation for its employees alone, but he took over and the company ended up spending only 1 million dollars to fire all the employees, and it was still legal.”
