Lisa Byrns

Fiercely client-focused, solutions-driven counsel

Lisa focuses on identifying critical issues early and delivering practical resolutions before they escalate into costly client crises. She brings strong business judgment developed through diverse legal and business contexts, including eight years at an AmLaw 20 firm, and most recently an in-house role with a third-party leverage finance knowledge vendor. This experience provides not only extensive experience negotiating, drafting and analyzing complex debt transactions, but also deep insight into client businesses — from pre-mandate modeling and diligence to internal compliance considerations. She has structured, negotiated and closed documentation across the full spectrum of debt financing deal lifecycles.

To the team, Lisa brings enthusiasm, energy and strong execution capabilities. She excels at maintaining both granular attention to detail and big-picture strategic thinking, and effectively communicating how individual deal elements serve broader client objectives. Lisa is passionate about creating a collaborative environment where collective learning drives superior client service. She finds deep satisfaction in the fundamentally human aspect of corporate law — serving as a trusted ally to help clients achieve business growth while identifying and managing risk in competitive markets and supporting colleagues in their professional endeavors.
