Some of Lee's other high-profile cases include his representation of financial institutions in the massive securities litigation relating to the collapse of Enron; defense of movie producers at the highly publicized jury trial involving Woody Allen, which settled after two weeks of trial; and an employment litigation jury verdict in favor of famed jewelry company Harry Winston.
