It is with great sadness we announce the unexpected and peaceful passing of Ronald R. Adee on Friday, April 7, 2023. He is survived by his beloved wife of 26 years, Elaine A. Kloss. Ron was born on July 17, 1951 in Hutchinson, Kansas to Raymond and Barbara (Boardman) Adee, who both predeceased him. He grew up in Newton, Kansas, where he attended Newton High School. Ron earned a BA in Economics from Northwestern University in 1973, an MSc degree in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 1974, and a JD degree from the University of Kansas in 1977.

In 1983 Ron joined the law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP in New York City. He returned to Washington, D.C. in 1993 and joined the law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP and later transferred to the firm’s New York City office. Ron’s law practice primarily focused on global securities offerings and international securities transactions. He was known in the securities bar not only for his deep expertise in international securities law, but also for his calm demeanor and wry sense of humor. In the fast-paced world of international finance, Ron was known to keep a steady hand on the rudder. Despite the high-stakes nature of Ron’s work, he always treated his colleagues with dignity and respect and remained a gentleman in a rough and tumble world. After a 15-year friendship, Ron and Elaine married in 1996. They had a strong partnership and enjoyed life to its fullest.
