Korean legal documents pose challenges for information extraction due to complex layouts, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) noise, and agglutinative morphology. This paper proposes an automated Named-Entity Recognition(NER) pipeline that integrates Qwen-VL-based OCR, a Begin-Inside-Outside (B-I-O)-tagged training dataset, and fine-tuned BERT-family encoders with a BiLSTM-Conditional Random Field (CRF) decoder. We fine-tune mBERT, KLUE-RoBERTa-Large, and XLM-RoBERTa-Large under both Pure and BiLSTM-CRF settings, incorporating 30% OCR-style noise. A 5-폴드cross-validation demonstrates that CRF-enhanced models achieve more stable and structurally consistent predictions, with XLM-RoBERTa-Large-CRF reaching an average F1-score of 0.998. The results highlight a practical design for robust NER in noisy OCR environments.
