Lisa believes the trials she overcomes in her career pale in comparison to her client’s personal challenges. “I see it as our job as plaintiff litigation lawyers to overcome challenges. Our clients often have to overcome much harder challenges. We, as their lawyers, are tasked with overcoming their legal challenges – so that it is one less challenge that our clients have to overcome. This is what our job is,” she says.  

This selfless approach to her line of work has seen Lisa successfully drive tough cases to the finish line with real passion and enthusiasm “I would describe myself as passionate about obtaining justice for people who have been wronged.” She says. And “getting the right result for a client and making a difference to their life,” gives her great satisfaction and enjoyment.
