The Legal 500 2019
Lisa is a first-class lawyer and an exceptional litigator: astute, tactically sound, creative in her analysis of her own client's case and in the deconstruction of her opponent's, with excellent judgment, an eye for detail and a formidable negotiator. Lisa excels, will add considerable value to any team and I highly recommend her.
