About

Ping Lee joined Control Risks Group in 2017 after an approximately seven-year stint with aircraft leasing company BOC Aviation, and more than five years with Air Liquide’s subsidiary, Air Liquide Singapore. At the latter, Lee was the first in-house counsel since the 1980s to operate with the company and this role meant ‘having to set up contractual templates, precedents and so on from scratch. I also had to learn how to educate colleagues and learn how to prioritise’. Lee has also sought to provide something of a legal education to other members of the business, allowing the legal team itself to focus on other strategic matters: ‘We are trying to train colleagues as much as possible to understand non-disclosure agreements so that they are equipped to review such agreements. We are also trying to be more cohesive as a global team and hence all legal requests to review documents are sent to a central global email address so that we ensure that work can be prioritised accordingly.’
