Tom Lee’s professional journey intersects with his personal life, as BCLP’s San Francisco office is where he met his wife, Goli Mahdavie, an attorney specializing in data privacy and cybersecurity. In a move to avoid any conflicts, Goli Mahdavie will continue to be supervised by the outgoing Managing Partner Seth Frederiksen.
Hailing from Connecticut, Tom Lee is a 2009 graduate of Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law. BCLP hired him fresh out of law school, initially placing him in its New York office. However, the financial crisis led to a delayed start, and in the meantime, he relocated to San Francisco. This fortuitous move resulted in him becoming the 13th litigator in the office.
