Lisa is a solicitor and partner at Anderson Law.

- Drafting and assisting a university client to negotiate a high-value strategic collaboration agreement with a global pharmaceutical company in relation to a drug discovery programme;
- Advising a biotech client on several agreements in relation to its drug development programme, including a manufacturing agreement for GMP production of an investigational medicinal product, and an agreement with a contract research organization to manage a clinical trial;
- Drafting a framework collaboration agreement between a university client and its associated NHS hospital trust;
- Advising a biotech client on a licence agreement and an accompanying research collaboration agreement for the exploitation of proprietary technology;
- Assisting a university licensor with the renegotiation of its licence agreement with a spin-out company in the context of a multi-million pound funding round; and

In addition, Lisa has also contributed to some of the firm’s flagship publications, including “Drafting Agreements in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries” (Oxford University Press) and “Technology Transfer” (3rd Edition, Bloomsbury Professional).
