Justin D. Lee, Co-Head of Weil’s Banking & Finance practice and Global Head of Liability Management and Strategic Capital Solutions, was featured in Law.com’s “How I Made Law Firm Leadership” column in a longform Q&A interview.
Justin highlighted Weil’s successful collaboration across departments and offices, underscoring how that seamless teamwork has bolstered the Firm’s growing liability management practice.
“Our liability management and strategic capital solutions initiative responds to rising client demand as the market is hot in LMEs right now and our clients across the board have an interest in understanding how these work,” Justin said. “It is amazing to work with my colleagues from across the firm and the globe to continue to build out this world-class practice.”
Justin also discussed the value of mentorship – including from retired partner Dan Dokos, a longtime mentor of Justin’s – and the importance of Firm citizenship.
“[My advice would be to] focus on your practice, but be willing to get involved and spearhead other projects,” Justin said. “‘Extracurricular’ commitments were and are incredibly important to me as they help to strengthen the firm and enhance our culture. I view each of these opportunities as part of my Weil journey and they have allowed me to collaborate with partners of various seniority levels across the firm.”
