Lee will be joining with his established team of fee-earners, including partner Wei Kang, two associates and one legal executive from Stephenson Harwood, where he was a partner and led the private client practice in Greater China. Recognised as an advisor to UHNW individuals, families and institutional trustees, Lee's experience spans Hong Kong, Singapore, the US, Canada and the UK, the firm said in a statement. His client base includes prominent Asian families and institutional trustees, listed company founders, UHNWIs, family offices, entrepreneurs and more.

Lee, who advises clients on cross-border tax and trust structuring, succession planning, asset preservation, cross-border transactions, family governance and multi jurisdictional private client matters, is known for his skill in managing the intricacies of wealth management and corporate operations in Asia, Canada, the US and the UK.

Wei Kang will join the firm as a private client partner in Hong Kong on 30 May 2026. Kang is a private wealth expert who guides high net worth families through complex estate planning and succession challenges. She advises high net worth families and trustees on intricate matters such as family trusts, Canadian tax, and succession planning across jurisdictions. Her expertise includes private wealth structuring advisory work, multijurisdictional tax advisory, designing and implementing family governance structures, pre-immigration planning, and philanthropic foundation planning.

In addition, Lee is bringing private client associates Lulu Zhang and Chi Yan Ho who will be joining the firm in July, and legal executive Eileen Lai who will be joining the firm in June. “Kevin and his team’s arrival gives us a considerable market advantage as we now have the biggest private client team in Asia. The team will significantly enhance our ability to support clients with increasingly international needs, particularly in the UHNW and family office space where demand across Asia continues to grow," Simon Green, real estate partner and head of Asia, said.  

“Kevin and Wei’s appointments also reinforce our ability to provide integrated private client advice across Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK, the US and Canada, working as one team to support families and founders wherever they and their assets are based," Jeffrey Lee, private client partner and head of the firm’s Singapore office, added.
