I integrate my scientific understanding, life sciences expertise, and legal knowledge to deeply grasp my clients’ technologies and the legal challenges they face. This allows me to secure optimal commercial outcomes, protect their valuable intellectual property, and support their growth and development. Working with such innovative organisations is truly inspiring.

What people are saying
During negotiations Lisa was pragmatic and able to make us focus on what for us were the most material points in the big picture. I wish it was easier to find more Lisas amongst our legal advisers across the world.
We have worked with Lisa on many IP agreements. They are invariably complex and difficult transactions and the advice and support we get is always first class.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lisa, across two different SME/startups. It has felt very reassuring to have Lisa in our corner when navigating agreements with much larger businesses.
