Recognitions

Among the many recognitions Lee has received for his legal practice, he has been named among America's leading real estate lawyers by Chambers and Partners, a respected English research firm. For a number of years, Crain's Chicago Business has placed him on its annual listing of top figures in the Chicago business world, "Who's Who in Chicago Business."

Lee has been recognized numerous times for his accomplishments in community service. In 2012, he received Georgetown University's John Carroll Award, its highest alumni honor. The university hailed his leadership role at DLA Piper, his achievements in developing New Perimeter, his contributions to the university—which include serving on the Georgetown Law Board of Visitors, developing law scholarships, launching the school’s transnational law program, providing leadership for the Corporate Counsel Institute and leading fundraising efforts—and his extensive community involvement in Chicago.

In 2008, Lee received the Arthur Goldberg Social Justice Award, recognizing his leadership in advocating on behalf of some of Chicago's most vulnerable populations. Also in 2008, B'nai B'rith honored him with the Commitment to Justice Award. In 2007, he was one of five alumni of Georgetown University Law Center honored with its Paul R. Dean Award. Lee has also received the Judge Learned Hand Human Relations Award, acknowledging his leadership in the legal profession and his personal dedication to philanthropic and civic endeavors. In 2006, he received the Judge Simon H. Rifkind Award, created in remembrance of Judge Rifkind's exemplary life, professional preeminence and record of public service and commitment.
