Testimonials

“Lori has the deep subject matter expertise of big company specialists without the price tag. She knows what it’s like to be an in-house lawyer, and takes a pragmatic approach to balancing business needs with legal and compliance risks. Lori rolls up her sleeves and becomes a member of the team, providing customized services tailored to each client’s needs. Lori is able to simplify complex and evolving areas of compliance, and has developed great forms and policies that are easy to implement and apply. I highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for assistance with their corporate compliance programs.”

— Cecilia Eckert, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, Xencor

“For quite some time our legal team recognized the need to modernize a number of the company’s compliance policies. With limited resources, the team struggled to progress this project. Once we brought Lori onboard, the project advanced very quickly. Lori’s practical knowledge of numerous compliance requirements, coupled with her attention to detail and organizational skills, allowed her to efficiently review and assess existing policies and isolate those that needed work. Under Lori’s guidance we were able to revise all of our dated policies and this was accomplished in a much shorter amount of time than if the team simply elected to continue with its struggles. I would highly recommend Lori to any business or compliance manager looking to efficiently and effectively modernize their compliance policies.”

— Gary Pepka, Associate General Counsel, Allegro MicroSystems

“If you are looking for someone to help with your data privacy strategy (or looking for expertise in this area), Lori is FABULOUS! She is helping us fine-tune our global data strategy and has consistently demonstrated her expertise in this field. She is a great teacher (and translator of data regs) and understands the necessity of balancing these difficult, ever-changing regulations with our risk profile. She is reliable and very responsive and timely. I would, most definitely recommend contacting Lori!”

“Her legal advice is practical, realistic and balanced in its approach, and is always tailored to our company’s needs and foundations. With her initiative and project ownership, Lori’s efforts have provided me with the ability to focus on other company wide legal issues. Since Lori has been advising our company’s regulatory compliance effort, at a corporate level, we better understand our legal obligations, domestically and internationally, and have security in the knowledge that we are now aware of and are complying with those requirements. Lori’s value to our company has been tremendous, and I would wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend her to other individuals, organizations, and companies.”

— Melissa Longin, Legal Counsel, New England Biolabs, Inc.

“Grace, intelligence, and professionalism are the words that instantly pop into my head when I think of Lori Manca. I have had the honor of working with Lori for over a decade at both Life Technologies and at Thermo Fisher Scientific, and I cannot recommend her more highly. She is approachable and experienced, but what sets Lori apart is her ability to think outside the box to find creative solutions for clients. Many people can tell you about applicable regulations, but Lori finds practical solutions. If you have a need for a phenomenal compliance professional, Lori is it.”

— Stephanie Pritchett, President, PLG Advisory Group

“Lori possesses a rare combination of legal, technical, and project management experience that is needed to effectively complete a GDPR project. She is also a pleasure to work with; she is positive, engaging, practical, professional, efficient, and requires very little oversight. We literally gave her the names of the key contacts within the company, and she orchestrated the rest. When the project was completed, I asked my colleagues what they thought of Lori. It is rare that ALL departments shower accolades on a single vendor, but in this case, they did.  Every department involved in the project was thoroughly impressed/pleased with her and her work. Without a doubt, we will continue to call upon Lori for all our GDPR needs.”

— Lennox Brown, Chief Information Officer, Analogic Corporation

Over the past 1.5 years, Lori Manca of LM Compliance Services has become my go-to resource for all issues having to do with privacy and HIPAA compliance. Lori’s deep knowledge and practical approach provide clarity on regulations creating greater understanding of the intent of the requirements. Utilizing Lori’s template - the “HIPAA Breach Decision Tree” - allowed us to create a commonsense compliance policy that staff at all levels of the organization was easily able to apply. Lori is invested in our success and, as such, is an excellent steward of resources and budget. I can always rely on Lori to be responsive, diligent and forward-thinking making her a valuable member of our team.

— Jennifer Dawson, VP of Quality and Regulatory Affairs, Human Longevity, Inc.

Working with Lori Manca / LM Compliance Services has provided Proof of Life with a powerful resource for the MTAH and financial contract agreements required in our procurement process. Lori’s creative solutions and out-of- the-box thinking are especially helpful to construct clearly worded agreements that allow both parties to collaborate in getting the protection they each need.  Furthermore, Lori goes the extra step by working directly with clinic teams to manage the process and determine whether the approach being taken is on the right track.

Not only does Lori save us time, but she reduces our liability while maintaining adherence to regulatory compliance as her work ensures tissue / material was correctly procured (legally and ethically) and proper consents were received. Lori is an excellent listener and generates smart discussions that clarify difficult strategies in easy to understand language. Proof of Life is better protected and positioned in our industry through the excellent work of Lori Manca.

— Deven Richardson, President / Lead Consultant, Proof of Life

As CIO of a global life science company, New England Biolabs (NEB), I had the pleasure of being introduced to Lori Manca as a resource to help us put together a thoughtful approach to comply with the European GDPR regulations. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Lori over the past five years. Lori quickly learned about NEB’s business model and worked closely with our European subsidiary managers to give them a comfort level that NEB was putting together a commonsense approach to meet the requirements. Lori is seen as a trusted advisor to NEB and has since been engaged with us on multiple initiatives in and around US and Global Security best practices, including the development of a Data Breach Response Strategy and associated policies. 

Lori’s guidance and approach, coupled with her expertise in international security regulations, has helped NEB establish a sound framework for our business. Lori’s knowledge of best practices, as well as providing ready-made templates, saves time and allows us to quickly move from an idea to completion. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lori to any company struggling to interpret and incorporate regulations in a global economy. Lori is a genuine person who builds solid relationships and instills trust in everyone that she works with.
