On May 31, 2017, HMP Law, together with Development Solutions, a European consultancy, successfully finished the project titled ‘A Comparative Study of the Implementation of International Labour Organization Convention 111 in the Republic of Korea and the Member States of the European Union’ which was funded by the European Union.  Korea-based British expert Dr. Tony Michell led this project as team leader.

The object of this project was to analyze the current status of the implementation of ILO Convention 111 in matters such as foreign workers, gender, disability, age issues, and to seek solutions by sharing good practices among Korea and each of the EU member states.

This project continued for one year from June 2016 through May 2017, and a variety of stakeholders such as the KFTU (Korean Federation of Trade Unions), KCTU (Korean Confederation of Trade Unions), KEF (Korean Employers Federation) participated in the project.  On May 23, 2017, Chan Sik Ahn, a partner at HMP Law, gave a speech representing the Republic of Korea at the final seminar held in Brussels, Belgium, and discussed related issues with participants.  HMP Lawyers including Dong Jin Lee, Hanah Lee, Kwang Hee Cho, Keewoong Lee, and Colin Nam also worked on this project.
