Closely involved in her clients’ strategic projects, Lise advises corporate governance and executives and works with executive committees and general management. Lise also advises professional organisations in various business sectors.

A pioneer in legal advice to SSE players, Lise has been working for nearly 30 years with the associative, medico-social and health sector to assist them in structuring their activities by integrating the economic and financial dimension.
