Lee & Lee

What Lee & Lee does

Lee & Lee is a full-service Singapore law firm established in 1955 and restructured as a Limited Liability Partnership (Lee & Lee LLP, UEN T25LL8888A) on 1 October 2025 under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2005. The firm operates from a single headquarters at 25 North Bridge Road, Singapore, with 101-250 employees, and delivers legal services across six practice areas: Banking & Finance, Corporate (including M&A, joint ventures, and business structuring), Intellectual Property, Litigation & Dispute Resolution (covering domestic litigation and ICC, SIAC, HKIAC, and UNCITRAL arbitrations), Real Estate & Property, and Specialised Practices including ESG.

The firm's underlying technology stack is explicitly disclosed as having no proprietary platform — Lee & Lee operates as a traditional professional-services firm and competes on partner expertise rather than technology differentiation. Notable technical components of its offering include a Tier-1 IP practice (ALB 2020), experienced IP litigation counsel (former counsel in Singapore's first patent infringement / revocation case V-Pile Technology v Peck Brothers), and mediation/arbitration credentials (Singapore Mediation Centre Partnership Award 2024; INTA ADR Committee chairmanship).

Revenue is generated through professional services fees billed primarily at hourly rates for lawyers and personnel, with fixed fees available for agreed-scope matters. Pricing escalators include urgency, novelty, complexity (up to 1.5x), and a 1.5x rate plus disbursements on overseas assignments; disbursements (court fees, stamp duty, counsel fees, foreign-lawyer fees) are billed separately. The client base is hybrid: large institutional and enterprise clients (major banks, MNCs, public-listed companies such as Catalist-listed Sincap Group, NTUC Enterprise, Morganite JV partners CapitaLand / Hotel Properties / Morgan Stanley / Wachovia, and real-estate developers including Kingsford, SL Capital, and Apex Asia) sit alongside high-net-worth individuals using the family law, wills, probate and estate-planning practice. Marketing is conducted through thought-leadership publications, recognised industry rankings (ALB, Straits Times Best Law Firms, Chambers) and direct engagement rather than a sales-led outbound motion. The firm is owned and controlled by its partners; there is no parent company or external institutional ownership.
