Lisa Lynch, CRPTM, CEDS currently works as an in-house paralegal for Cushman and Wakefield, a global leader in the commercial and multifamily real estate industry in Dallas, Texas. Her role focuses on litigation, eDiscovery and corporate governance.
In 2015, Lisa was elected to the NFPA’s Board of Directors as its Vice President and Director of Marketing. In this role she had many accomplishments, including increasing non-dues revenue and brand awareness, modernizing the design of National Paralegal Reporter, and co-chairing the committee that was instrumental in convincing the American Bar Association to change its definition of a paralegal to no longer identify the term “legal assistant” as synonymous with paralegal. In 2019, Lisa was elected to the NFPA’s Board of Directors as its Region II Director where she worked closely with the member associations in Region II on issues affecting all member associations. In 2021, Lisa was elected to the NFPA’s Board of Directors as its first President-Elect where she works closely with the President and learns the roles and responsibilities to ensure continuity. She served as NFPA's President for 2022.
Lisa has been involved with the Dallas Area Paralegal Association (DAPA) since 2004. She served as DAPA’s President in 2014 and held other positions including President Elect, NFPA Primary, NFPA Secondary, Vendor Advisor, as well as serving on many committees. She has also been a CLE speaker at many DAPA and student events. In 2014, Lisa was presented with the DAPA Paralegal of the Year Award. She is also a member of Paralegal Division of the State Bar of Texas and sat on the El Centro Paralegal Advisory Board.
Lisa participates in DAPA’s mentor/protégé program and is a volunteer with the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program and other community service programs benefiting non-profits such as the North Texas Food Bank, Juliette Fowler, TangoTab and The Stewpot.
Lisa obtained her Paralegal Certificate from the Professional Development Institute at the University of North Texas. In 2011, Lisa was certified by NFPA as a Core Registered Paralegal, becoming one of the first 16 CRPs in the State of Texas and initial 148 paralegals in the nation who passed the pilot exam administered at 12 test sites across the country. Most recently, Lisa became CEDS certified through ACEDS (Association of Certified eDiscovery Specialists).
The President will be the leader of NFPA and a mentor for the paralegal profession. This individual will be responsible to make daily, on-going and long-term decisions regarding NFPA's overall effect on the profession and ensure these decisions are implemented and monitored.
