Congratulations to David Yongkyu Han for successfully completing his articles with Hwang & Company as of March 7, 2007. Upon taking the Barristers and Solicitors' oath administered by Michael Hwang, David became a member of the Law Society of British Columbia and sworn in as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of British Columbia. We are pleased to announce that David will continue his tenure with Hwang & Company as an Associate Counsel in our Corporate/Commercial practice. David received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of British Columbia in 2001 and his Bachelor of Laws from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University in 2005. David taught International Law at the Southwest University of Political Science & Law in Chongqing, China as a visiting scholar from September 2005 to June 2006, and courses covered included Private International Law, Contract Law, and Business Law for LL.M. and LL.D. students. David has taken great interest in China over many years, and enjoys learning and exploring about this country and its people. This particular long-lasting interest had led him to choose Asian Studies with concentration on China for his undergrad major as well as Economics. David is fluent in English, Korean and Mandarin. Hwang & Company has been providing legal services since 1991 to make positive impact on our staff, clients, community and the world.

Each year the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce presents business excellence awards to outstanding businesses and individuals in the Tri-Cities. Michael Hwang of Hwang & Company was nominated to be one of three finalists for the Business Person of the Year award for 2007, and was awarded as the recipient of this prestigious award on January 26, 2007 at the Presidents’ Awards Gala.

The program for the ceremony described Michael’s contribution to the community as follows:

“Michael Hwang is a dedicated lawyer, businessman, community leader and volunteer. As one of the first Korean-Canadian lawyers in Western Canada, Michael recognizes his call and duty to provide much needed legal services and education to the community, particularly to the new immigrants from Korea. He also works tirelessly for many community groups, including SHARE Family & Community Services and the North Road Business Improvement Association. Responding to many divisive challenges faced by the North Road’s historic and multicultural business community, Michael helped to mobilize business and property owners along that corridor to partner with the cities of Coquitlam, and Burnaby, ICBC, Dept. of Highways, and the RCMP to improve safety, security, environment, and business”

Other nominees for this award were Ken Catton of Pacific Coast Terminals and Fred Soofi of Pasta Polo.

Currently, the processing times for investor immigration from Korea is estimated to be approximately 2 years, but the actual time may be longer or shorter depending on the applicants qualifications and on the number of applications received for processing by the Canadian Embassy in Korea.
