Morgan, Lewis & Bockius Singapore partner Suet Fern Lee is caught up in a highly public family dispute between the three children of late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, and will step down as office managing partner, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Lee, who is married to one of the siblings, will remain a partner at the firm and plans to spend time in Hong Kong, where the firm launched in January through an association with a local firm headed by former Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe partner Edwin Luk. But her deputy in Singapore, Joo Khin Ng, will take over as managing partner of Morgan Lewis Stamford, according to the source.
