Lee is a partner in Jenner & Block’s Los Angeles office who defends clients in class actions across the country arising from a wide variety of industries, from food to technology to health care. A first generation immigrant from South Korea, Lee graduated from Harvard Law School magna cum laude and spent five years in private practice before his first foray into government work. In 2005, he provided legal guidance to United States Senator Arlen Specter, and then later served as an Associate Counsel to the President of the United States. He represented the White House in congressional and other governmental investigations and provided advice for the President and senior White House officials on a host of legal and compliance issues.
