After serving in-house for two major healthcare organizations, Lisa offers a unique perspective on client needs.
Her first firm role involved supporting a major healthcare organization that lacked its own legal department, where she quickly gained experience in operational matters, governance, contract negotiations, medical staff matters, and general regulatory compliance. She later expanded her capabilities to include pharmacy benefit management and post-acute care.
Lisa then transitioned to in-house positions with two leading health systems, where she served for seven years. During this time, she gained experience in managing legal and operational issues across various sectors, including real estate, acquisitions and divestitures, and intellectual property management. Her responsibilities also included providing guidance on marketing communications, advertising, and commercial transactions as well as critically developing and enforcing information technology and information security policies and standards. Lisa's work in privacy and security compliance involved analyzing and implementing policies that ensured organizational adherence to legal and regulatory requirements, particularly in the healthcare sector.
Her deep understanding of complex organizational operations and firsthand experience managing budgets and timelines for outside counsel allow Lisa to craft customized strategies that align with client-specific needs and goals. After returning to Husch Blackwell in 2023, Lisa now assists clients in the healthcare industry with contracting, operations and governance issues, licensure questions, and regulatory compliance. A significant portion of her practice is dedicated to advising a major multinational managed healthcare and insurance company, where her background in commercial contracting and privacy compliance continues to be invaluable.
