Lisa Evans brings over 14 years of experience advising Fortune 500 companies and leading law firms on all aspects of eDiscovery, information governance, and data strategy. She began her career with an AmLaw 100 firm on a multi-billion-dollar international securities matter and quickly distinguished herself for her ability to manage large, cross-border discovery teams and streamline complex workflows.

Throughout her career—often while relocating globally alongside her active-duty U.S. Army spouse—Lisa has continued to expand her expertise across complex commercial litigation, antitrust, construction, white-collar, and HSR Second Request matters. Her diverse background has fueled her passion for driving operational excellence and process improvement across discovery programs.

At Gilbert LLP, Lisa serves as a trusted advisor to both clients and internal practice teams. She leads initiatives that strengthen efficiency, quality control, and defensibility across the firm’s insurance recovery and litigation support practices. Her work includes advising on eDiscovery strategy and disputes, information governance, data privacy, structured review workflows, defensible deletion and retention policies, mobile device data, ephemeral messaging, and the evolving intersection of AI and discovery.

Lisa is recognized for her leadership in building high-performing review teams, optimizing technology-assisted review (TAR) and analytics workflows, and implementing continuous process improvement to elevate outcomes and reduce costs. She also contributes to firmwide knowledge management and training programs, ensuring associates and staff attorneys develop a strong command of eDiscovery best practices and quality standards.
