A formidable advocate who delivers exceptional results

Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional patent dispute that threatened the core of our biotechnology platform. The complexity was staggering, involving intricate scientific principles and aggressive litigation tactics from a larger competitor. We engaged Lisa Pirozzolo at WilmerHale, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting, her command of both the legal landscape and the underlying science was immediately apparent. Her 33 years of experience, particularly in intellectual property and life sciences litigation, were evident in every strategic discussion. Lisa and her team constructed a defense that was not only legally sound but also deeply persuasive on the technical merits, anticipating every move from the opposition. Her recognition as a multiple-time 'Lawyer of the Year' in Boston for IP and biotech litigation is clearly well-deserved. Beyond her formidable expertise, Lisa is a calm, steadying presence who kept our leadership team informed and focused throughout the multi-year process. The matter was resolved with a highly favorable settlement that fully protected our intellectual property and commercial interests. Lisa is the epitome of a top-tier Boston attorney: brilliant, strategic, and utterly dedicated to her clients' success.
