Lorraine Lee is an Affiliate Expert at Bates Group and founder of Lorraine Lee Consulting LLC. Lee has worked in the securities industry for over thirty years. She began her career in 1987, working for Drexel Burnham Lambert.
For nearly 20 years, Lee worked at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA” and formerly known as NASD), specifically in the area of statutory disqualification. While at FINRA, Lee participated in countless statutory disqualification matters impacting individuals and broker-dealers.
During her tenure at FINRA, Lee managed the statutory disqualification program and served as its associate director. Statutory disqualification is an extremely broad and nuanced area of securities regulation, and due to her experience, knowledge and expertise, Lee has become recognized as a skilled and proficient subject matter expert in this area.
After devoting herself to mastering the complexities of statutory disqualification for nearly two decades, Lee decided to form her own consulting firm, Lorraine Lee Consulting LLC, to respond to the needs of many clients, seeking her expertise in this very complex area of securities regulation.
