About Lisa J.
Lisa J. Borodkin built her legal foundation at two of the country’s most storied schools. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University, then continued her studies at Columbia Law School. Those years established a base in legal analysis and argument that has shaped the rest of her career.
After law school, Borodkin entered the bar and began practicing in multiple jurisdictions. She is licensed to practice in New York and is a member of the State Bar of California, having been admitted there in 1998. That dual reach underpins a practice that moves between state lines when client needs require it.
Her career has taken her into private practice at Iverson Yoakum Papiano & Hatch. At the firm she is part of a team that handles a range of client matters. Colleagues describe her approach as deliberate and precise. She pays close attention to the details that can alter the course of a case or transaction.
Borodkin’s education and bar experience inform how she approaches legal problems. She relies on careful research and measured advocacy. Her work involves drafting documents, counseling clients, and coordinating with other professionals when cases demand specialized input. She adapts to the pace of litigation or negotiation without overstating outcomes.
Outside of case work, she maintains the professional routines common to seasoned practitioners: staying current on developments in the law, managing the procedural aspects of litigation and filings, and advising clients about risks and options. She has upheld bar membership responsibilities and remained current in the jurisdictions where she practices.
People who have worked with Borodkin note a steady presence in the office and in meetings. She emphasizes clear communication and a practical orientation that helps clients understand complex legal questions in plain terms. That clarity is a throughline from her academic training through daily practice.
Today she continues her work at Iverson Yoakum Papiano & Hatch. She handles client matters out of the firm’s practice and maintains licensure in New York while keeping her California bar membership in force, so her current practice is based in New York at Iverson Yoakum Papiano & Hatch.
