Jennifer Lee

Jennifer Lee is a specialist family law practitioner at Pump Court Chambers. She has a thriving practice in the area of family finance, and has successfully represented high net worth clients in cases involving family businesses, inherited wealth, substantial pensions, nuptial agreements, and trusts. Many of her cases also involve foreign assets, tax complications, and cross jurisdictional issues, such as the validity or otherwise of an overseas marriage or divorce, or competing claims in multiple jurisdictions (including cases pertaining to Asia and Africa).

Jennifer has appeared in a number of high-profile reported cases, most notably in Veluppillai v Veluppillai & Ors [2015] EWHC 3095 (Fam) (High Court), in LFL v LSL (McKenzie Friends & Breach of Court Orders) [2017] EWFC B62, and more recently, in N v N (Afghanistan: Validity of an overseas marriage: Procedure) [2020] EWFC B55.

Over the years, Jennifer has also developed an interest in the Court of Protection, particularly where there are overlaps with divorce/financial claims, and in complex children law including surrogacy/modern families. She leads the Court of Protection Team with Leslie Samuels QC.

Jennifer was appointed as a Fee-Paid Judge of the First-tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber) in 2021. She continues to be ranked as a “Leading Junior (Tier 1)- Family and Children Law” in The Legal 500, and as a specialist in “family/matrimonial law” in Chambers & Partners (UK Bar). She has been highly commended for her attention to detail and her robust approach, both in negotiations and during hearings. She regularly appears in arbitrations and private FDRs, and sits as a private FDR judge in Chambers.
