In a 52-45 vote, the U.S. Senate on Wednesday confirmed Los Angeles Jenner & Block partner Kenneth Lee to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit despite opposition from his home-state California senators.

According to his Senate questionnaire, Lee, who joined Jenner & Block as a partner in 2009 after spending time at several other Am Law 100 firms, made $300,000 in capital contributions to the firm and had $160,416 in the firm’s “cash balance fund” as of January. According to his financial disclosures, he made $962,480 at Jenner in 2016, $832,480 in 2017, and $860,576 in 2018. As of the Feb. 8 filing, he had made $193,991 in 2019. (The American Lawyer reported that Jenner’s average profits per equity partner were $1.5 million in 2018.) Of note for his upcoming time on the Ninth Circuit bench, Lee disclosed significant stock holdings in Amazon, Microsoft and Bank of America.
