Partner – Head of Secured Lending & Deputy Head of Real Estate Operations

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Lisa is a Solicitor Partner, Head of Secured Lending and Deputy Head of the Real Estate Department. Beginning her legal career shortly following her graduation in 2015 within a well-established, high-volume conveyancing practice, Lisa quickly established herself as one of the highest-performing Secured Lending Case Handlers, recognised for delivering exceptional speed, accuracy, and consistency across a demanding caseload. This early success built a strong foundation in high-performance delivery, operational efficiency, and the ability to maintain quality at pace. Lisa is a long-standing member of the Poole Alcock team, having joined Poole Alcock as a Conveyancing Assistant in January 2016. Lisa very quickly secured her training contract with the firm in September 2016 and subsequently qualified as a Solicitor in 2018, transitioning into family law where she continued to excel as a top performer while also stepping into a leadership role managing newly qualified solicitors, trainees, and paralegals. Lisa’s impact was reflected in rapid career progression, achieving promotion to both Associate and Partner within the same year, at just 28 years old, demonstrating a rare combination of technical ability, leadership capability, and commercial awareness. This period strengthened Lisa’s expertise in people development, client care, and risk management, alongside honing a leadership style grounded in clarity, accountability, and support. Lisa since made a return to residential conveyancing and assumed the position of Head of Secured Lending, bringing together a unique blend of high-volume operational experience and senior leadership. Through implementing targeted process improvements, strengthening performance frameworks, and embedding a results-driven culture, Lisa has transformed the team into a high-performing and scalable function. Operating within a partner-led model, the team benefits from hands-on leadership, clear direction, and strong decision-making, ensuring both performance and quality remain consistently high. Under Lisa’s leadership, the Secured Lending team has grown rapidly into a motivated, fast-paced, and high-achieving unit, recognised for delivering efficient turnaround times, increased capacity, and a consistently high standard of service to clients and stakeholders.

Aldermore Remortgage - Smooth and uncomplicated

Chanel was great. She was very clear about the progress of the file and didn't burden us with anything.

The team at Poole Alcock have shown a high degree of professional with my case. Lisa Ball has shown a very strong interest and determination to succeed and giving 5 stars is a bit of an insult, as it should be 10 stars, plus.

Thank you to Lisa Ball for her support and guidance through an incredibly stressful and distressing divorce. I found her knowledge, patience, kindness and empathy reassuring and she was with me at every stage; a true asset to Poole Alcock. So much so, I have used them to write my will and also intend to for conveyancing.

I have had Poole Alcock Solicitors in Congleton handle my rather complicated , time consuming and consequently rather expensive divorce . I am now very happy with the eventual outcome and can not praise my family Solicitor, Lisa Ball and her team enough for their professional care and support during a rather stressful and difficult time . The finance team have also been most helpful and supportive . I will confidently be using the firm again for a property transfer and my will .
