A Unique Approach
Lisa Thornton Consulting (LTC) offers an alternative to the experience of working with large practices. LTC is able to deliver high quality, professional, solution-oriented and timely work product on both small and large matters by focusing on one area of the law and by teaming up with trusted colleagues outside the practice, such as lawyers, economists, and researchers, as appropriate. Lisa Thornton Consulting often works as a sub-contractor, and in other matters, is able to pull in the right expertise for the right matter.
