Tiffany Lee, managing partner of Willkie’s Palo Alto office, has been profiled by the Silicon Valley Business Journal as one of the recipients of the 2025 Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Business Leadership Awards.
The publication recognized Tiffany as one of Silicon Valley’s notable business leaders, noting the impact she has had in the law, at Willkie, and in the broader community. She helped launch Willkie’s Palo Alto office in 2018 and has overseen its growth as a market leader while instilling a warm and collaborative culture – one inspired by the close, family-oriented office where her father worked as a litigator in Hong Kong.
SVBJ also highlighted Tiffany’s career development and the ways her international experience has contributed to her success as a leading-edge technology transactions lawyer and intellectual property counselor.
In addition, the profile noted Tiffany’s commitment to giving back to the community and enhancing Willkie’s impact locally. She established a pro bono program with the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, which provides legal services to underrepresented individuals and families in the region. Tiffany also worked with the Children's Bureau of Southern California to license its customizable web-based tool to facilitate foster child development service planning.
Silicon Valley Business Journal’s inaugural AAPI Business Leadership Awards honor top Silicon Valley professionals of Asian descent for their professional excellence and civic contributions. The honorees will be recognized at an awards event in San Jose, California.
