[Success Case] Securing 2.1 Billion KRW: Successful Prejudgment Attachment of Multi-family Housing and Land

When dealing with significant damages claims, the most critical step isn't just winning the lawsuit—it's ensuring the debtor actually has the money to pay when the trial ends. Today, we share a successful case where we secured a 2.1 billion KRW claim by swiftly freezing the debtor's real estate, including multi-family housing and land.

Our client (the creditor) held a claim for damages amounting to approximately 2.13 billion KRW due to the debtor's illegal acts. Because of the substantial amount, we recognized that the debtor might try to liquidate or hide their property to avoid payment.

To prevent this, we needed to identify the debtor's "accountable assets" and freeze them immediately. The target assets included both land and a multi-family residential building.

Representing the client, our legal team moved quickly to establish a basis for recovery:

• Targeting Real Estate Assets: We precisely identified the debtor's property portfolio, specifically focusing on their land and multi-family residential units.
• ** 소명 (Substantiation):** We presented a compelling case to the court, proving both the existence of the 2.13 billion KRW claim and the 'necessity of preservation'—demonstrating that without an immediate freeze, the client's chances of recovery would be significantly diminished.

In 2025, the court accepted our application in full, granting a prejudgment attachment on the debtor's real estate.

The results were significant:

• Freezing Accountability Assets: We successfully 동결(froze) the assets, ensuring they remained available for the final collection process.
• Proving Consistent Expertise: This case was one of several high-value preservation actions we successfully managed for the same financial institution client, proving our consistent ability to deliver results in high-stakes debt recovery.

Recovering a high-value debt requires more than just a single success; it requires a consistent, repeatable strategy that works every time. Prejudgment attachment (가압류) is the 'Golden Time' of litigation—missing it can mean losing your chance at recovery forever.
