Get to Know Us
Lee spent c. 10 years working with Stephen Tupper at TupperS Law, London’s pre-eminent (award-winning) specialist competition law practice, before Stephen retired TupperS Law in January 2026. During that time, Lee was involved in the development of the firm and had conduct of several of the firm's matters (with a particular focus on complex contentious work and its advisory practice). Chisman Russell is, therefore, in spirit, a continuation and extension of what Stephen sought to create: a specialist competition law offering built on providing high-quality advice for a reasonable rate.
​
Lee’s career in practice was preceded by a period in academia, during which he spent time researching competition law. He continues to lecture on competition law at both English and Scottish universities and is regularly retained to speak and write on matters of competition law.
