Lisa Lazarus (CAN/USA)
FEI General Counsel

Lisa joined the FEI in May 2009 after almost ten years at the National Football League (NFL), where she was based primarily in New York (USA) as in-house counsel and then more recently in London where she was Senior Director of Business Affairs for NFL International. Between 1999-2005, Lisa was Labour Relations Counsel to the NFL Management Council. During that time, she represented NFL teams in
hundreds of arbitration cases before private arbitrators, many of
which involved challenges to the NFL's Substance Abuse Program.

Prior to becoming in-house counsel at the NFL, Lisa was a labour
and employment associate at the nationally acclaimed law firm Akin,
Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, which acted as outside labour
counsel to the NFL. Lisa spent much of her time as a junior lawyer
researching issues related to the enforceability of arbitrations in the
NFL, particularly around the Substance Abuse Program.
