About Lisa Clay
I’ve devoted my practice to helping people accomplish their personal and business goals. As a solo practitioner with a holistic approach, I pride myself on helping individuals and small businesses solve problems in creative and cost-effective ways.
My interest in law practice comes from a unique background, working in human resources for fortune-500 companies, serving as a trained mediator, and practicing with prominent Chicago-area law firms.
The practice I founded in 2012 has its genesis in employment law. But I have devoted significant time to the pro bono and low-bono representation of individuals and small businesses who are victims of copyright, trademark, and piracy trolls.
An experienced fitness and yoga instructor, I’ve spent thousands of hours teaching yoga and meditation. More than anything I want to help people pursue their goals and dreams. My “coach” mindset means I will always try to amicably resolve disputes whenever possible. But when resolution is not an option, I am a skilled and worthy adversary, having litigated individual and class claims in courts around the country.

Whether you need help obtaining an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodation, returning to work after a Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) absence or believe you are a victim of discrimination on the basis of your race or gender, I am the lawyer you need on your side.
Skilled in employment law counseling, I believe in preventing issues before they arise by addressing every aspect of the employment relationship proactively. It begins with the drafting, review and evaluation of agreements defining the employment relationship. If you are changing employers, I can help you review your employment contract, termination agreement, or severance offer. If you are trying to decide whether you need representation, I encourage you to contact me for a complimentary consultation to learn more about why having a lawyer is the best practice.
My nearly 20-year career representing both individuals and businesses of all sizes and sophistication provides me a unique and balanced perspective on legal disputes and how they can and should be resolved.
My training as a yoga instructor and my interest in psychology allows me to work outside of the legal framework to focus on more practical and holistic goals for you and your client. And my commitment to access to justice means that your time with me will cost a fraction of what it would cost with an ADR service.
If a law firm has made allegations that you or your business has violated Section 553 and/or 605 of the Communications Act , I can help you understand your options. I have significant experience resolving these matters before litigation is filed but have also litigated these matters all the way to trial.
If you recently received notification from your ISP provider or a law firm stating that you have been named a defendant in a BitTorrent copyright infringement lawsuit, the next steps you take can significantly impact the outcome of your case. I encourage you to contact me to discuss your settlement and litigation options promptly. I have experience navigating these cases nationwide.
