  Lisa worked with me for three and a half years at CEC Entertainment. She is an outstanding attorney, empathetic leader, and champion of a strong and welcoming corporate culture. She quickly and methodically masters new concepts and is able to communicate the most complicated of problems succinctly and accurately. She performs equally well whether as a member of a team or manager of a multi-functional project team. Her writing is clear, direct, and to the point, whether she is advocating a position or analyzing a problem from both sides. She eagerly takes on challenging tasks and thinks proactively of how to make her company a better place to work and grow. In sum, she is a joy to work with and around!

Lisa enjoys new challenges and is always looking for improvements and insights to benefit the company and her fellow workplace associates.

  I had the opportunity to work with Lisa on a commercial real estate leasing deal, where Lisa was the counsel for a prominent national tenant. Lisa was extremely professional while representing her client and worked with me to close the deal in an expeditious manner. I was very impressed by her lawyering skills. She came across as a very enthusiastic lawyer with the goal of negotiating the best terms for her client. She is very polite, yet firm in her representation and was very responsive throughout the deal. She was co-operative and worked towards ensuring that the deal got negotiated in an efficient manner. It was a great pleasure to work with Lisa.

  It is my pleasure to recommend Lisa Blackburn as an exceptional General Counsel who plays a critical role on both business and legal issues for her company. As the only in-house counsel at her firm, she provides legal oversight and services with remarkable effectiveness in a number of key areas, including negotiation and review of complex contracts, evaluating insurance coverage for commercial real estate projects and analyzing exposure to claims and supervising litigation. With respect to litigation matters, she provides indispensable advice, and she retains and works closely with outside trial counsel to develop legal strategies designed to achieve the best results for her company. I have been privileged to work with Lisa on a number of complex, business litigation matters, and I could not be more impressed by her business and legal acumen, or by her dedication, close attention to detail and commitment to securing a successful outcome for her company on a cost-effective basis.
