Lisa originally joined the firm in London in 2003 as a Trainee, before qualifying into the International Arbitration group – as part of which she acted on a number of complex, high-value arbitration matters, as well as commercial litigation and expert determination disputes.
In 2011, Lisa was integrally involved with the launch of the firm’s office in Belfast – as the first near-shore offering of any major international law firm, and the first of its ALT hubs.
As the ALT practice has grown and evolved, Lisa’s role has expanded to assume responsibility for leading ALT’s teams across Belfast, London and Johannesburg. Indeed, Lisa was responsible for the launch of ALT’s market-leading team in Johannesburg in 2017.
She also spearheads the practice’s global Client Solutions effort – which seeks to drive growth in ALT’s revenue generation through the optimisation of ALT’s products and services to better address its clients’ challenges.
In her role as Partner, Lisa will continue to lead ALT’s teams in UK & EMEA, and to strategically direct the work of the global Client Solutions team.
In 2019, Lisa was named International Director of the Year at the Institute of Directors NI ‘Director of the Year’ Awards, and was subsequently ‘Highly Commended’ in the same category at the national UK-wide Awards.
