Lisa’s practice is concentrated primarily in the areas of estate and trust administration. She began her legal career as a real estate development lawyer for one of DC’s most prominent law firms, and then moved to the development business itself, ultimately becoming a Manager of Business Operations for Enron in the company’s London office. Through these roles, Lisa gained experience in asset and property rights, ownership and transfer in both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. After taking time off to raise three children, Lisa has returned to the practice of law.

Prior to receiving her law degree, Lisa spent a year as an actuarial assistant at George B. Buck Actuarial Consultants in New York, where she was responsible for the analysis and valuation of employee pension plans. She then served for a year as Manager, Budget and Computer Services, for The New York City Public Development Corporation, a non-profit corporation dedicated to the creation and retention of jobs in New York City through initiating development projects in the city’s industrial parks.

Lisa’s patient persistence and project management skills make her ideally suited to the trust and estate administration process.
