Hogan Lovells Lee & Lee

Investigations, White Collar, and Fraud

Partner

Kush guides clients through sensitive internal and government investigations across Asia-Pacific, from report to resolution.

Clients identify Kush as their “go-to-resource in the region,” and he is globally recognized as a leading cross-border investigations and compliance lawyer, earning accolades from Asian Legal Business, Chambers, Global Investigations Review, Legal 500, The Financial Times, and Who’s Who Legal for his “excellent reputation” and “authority beyond his years”.

Kush’s global investigations practice prioritizes the critical issues international regulators are focused on with an appreciation of local nuances. Operating from Singapore, and previously in our firm’s London and D.C. offices, he has unique multi-FCPA case experience leading on these matters from Asia. Kush draws from his multiple representations in front of the U.S. Department of Justice, SEC, SFO, AGC, CPIB, CAD, MAS, Indian Police, and KPK.

He counsels clients on preventative and reactive compliance; from dawn raids, transactional risk, and policies and procedure preparedness, to whistleblower complaints and regulatory responses. Kush advises on bribery, corruption and cross-border litigation; and builds and tests clients’ compliance systems.

Kush also leads our Southeast Asia international trade, sanctions, and export controls practice. He helps clients navigate the increasing realm of matters that fall under the “compliance” umbrella, including workplace conflicts, forced labor, environmental compliance, and third-party management. Kush connects with all, and is selected to present to the C-suite, and interview all levels of a business. Kush is fluent and innovative on data processing techniques that can reduce reviews from millions to thousands, in both costs and volume of data.

Leading the Singapore office’s Pro Bono efforts, his novel work in environmental conservation, using blockchain technology, has earned him a global nomination as TrustLaw Lawyer of the Year by Thomson Reuters.
