Experience:
Lee qualified in 1990, and then trained at a city media firm.
Lee started work as a property lawyer, moving on to defamation and copyright litigation and subsequently specialising in media contracts, wills (including the appointment of literary Executors) and probate. This diverse background enables her to advise clients on a wide range of legal problems.
Media clients include publishers, photographic and advertising agencies, and individuals, such as authors, artists, television and theatrical producers.

This includes making fast track applications in urgent matters, and appointments of new trustees to enable property transactions to go ahead where a joint owner has lost capacity.
