Practice Areas

Lis is a trusted corporate lawyer with a reputation for combining sharp legal expertise with a deep understanding of business strategy. She advises listed and private companies, multinationals, and not-for-profit organisations on governance, structure, operations, and growth. Her clients value her ability to build enduring relationships and immerse herself in their culture, ensuring advice that is timely, practical, and aligned with their vision.

At the strategic level, Lis partners with boards and senior executives on high-impact transactions — from capital raisings and restructures to strategic collaborations and mergers & acquisitions. Her extensive experience and pragmatic insights are particularly sought after by growing organisations navigating complex projects.

Lis also helps organisations strengthen governance frameworks, making them fit for purpose and future-ready. She brings emotional intelligence to sensitive matters such as member approvals and conflicts of interest, drawing on her credentials as a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. For listed entities, she provides clear, actionable guidance on continuous disclosure obligations.

Operationally, Lis champions a practical approach to embedding compliance in everyday operations. She trains boards and managers on key legal duties, designs contract review frameworks aligned with risk appetite, and negotiates complex agreements with precision.

Her deep understanding of the Life Sciences and Healthcare sector is reflected in her leadership roles:

• Co-Chair, Piper Alderman Life Sciences and Healthcare focus group

• Non-Executive Director, Immutep Ltd (ASX: IMM; NASDAQ: IMMP)

• Chair, AusBiotech NSW State Committee

A regular speaker at AusBiotech conferences, ANDHealth workshops, and BioShares masterclasses, Lis is a natural connector, fostering collaboration and strengthening Australia’s life sciences ecosystem.
