Theresa Lee Named a 2020 Leadership Council on Legal Diversity Fellow

The LCLD’s Fellows Program is a year-long training initiative that aims to identify the next generation of diverse leaders in the legal profession. This highly structured program affords participants intensive training designed to advance their relationship-building and leadership skills, with each class of Fellows serving as mentors to those who follow.

“Theresa’s selection as our 2020 LCLD Fellow reflects her steadfast commitment to improving diversity, both in the legal profession and here at Pillsbury,” said partner Stacie Yee, who chairs the firm’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee and is herself an alum of the LCLD Fellowship program (class of 2015). “We proudly support diverse next-generation leaders like Theresa in partnership with this important organization.”

Lee advises clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies on venture capital financings, M&A transactions, corporation reorganizations and corporate governance matters. Additionally, she is a core member of Pillsbury’s Korea practice, assisting clients with a variety of legal issues facing Korean companies and financial institutions doing business in the U.S.

Founded in 2009, LCLD is a growing organization of more than 320 corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners who are personally committed to creating a more diverse and inclusive legal profession. The LCLD Fellows Program, which has trained more than 1,600 mid-career attorneys since 2011, is one of LCLD’s most important initiatives. For more information, visit www.lcldnet.org.
