George Advisory

Truth in Data. Humanity in the Loop

George Advisory is a board-level advisory and transformation consultancy specialising in data, AI, and information risk within complex, regulated environments.

Founded by Lisa Burton, George Advisory brings decades of experience delivering enterprise-scale change across global corporates, regulators, and the legal system itself. Lisa is an award-winning Legal Technologist and Data & AI Risk Transformation Consultant, trusted by Boards and General Counsel to lead initiatives where regulatory scrutiny, technical complexity, and operational reality collide.

Lisa has advised and delivered at the highest levels  from digitising elements of the UK judicial system and modernising regulatory data practices, to designing and implementing enterprise Data & AI Risk Frameworks, information protection controls, and live production data programmes within global organisations. Her work consistently bridges policy, regulation, technology, and execution, turning complex obligations into measurable, defensible outcomes.

When governed with clarity and intent, data becomes a strategic advantage, not a risk

At the heart of George Advisory is a clear belief: data is created by people, shaped by decisions, and carries consequence. When governed with clarity and intent, data becomes a source of trust, resilience, and strategic advantage — not risk.

George Advisory operates with a senior core team and a trusted network of specialists across legal, data, AI, security, and governance — scaling up or down as required. This model enables pace, depth, and accountability from boardroom to delivery floor.

Lisa is also the founder of Authentic Legal and BRIDGE, an AI-enabled platform designed to translate complex legal and regulatory requirements into actionable technical controls. These ventures inform the advisory work, bringing innovation, explainability, and strong human oversight into every engagement.

In Conversation

General Counsel in the Loop is built on a simple but powerful idea: real people, speaking truthfully to one another, on the record.

In an age of automation, soundbites, and curated narratives, this podcast honours the importance of human conversation — experienced leaders and emerging voices speaking openly, thoughtfully, and transparently about the realities of legal leadership in a data- and AI-shaped world.

Through candid conversations with General Counsel and senior legal leaders, the series creates space for honesty, reflection, and shared learning. These are not rehearsed positions, but lived experience — recorded with care, integrity, and respect for truth.

The podcast also exists to help the next generation rise. By listening to those who have navigated complexity, pressure, and responsibility, young stars gain insight, perspective, and permission to lead with both confidence and conscience.

This is about leaders listening to leaders — across generations — and about preserving human judgement, wisdom, and truth in a world that increasingly moves at machine speed.

Human. Honest. In the loop

Data Glow

The AI Edition - coming soon

Data is not just numbers and strings. It is a record of how we show up.

Every Teams message, WhatsApp note, email, digital article, and visual we create carries more than information. It carries tone, intention, presence, and impact. Together, these everyday moments form a living imprint — revealing how we communicate, how we lead, how we listen, and how we treat one another.

Data is shaped by human choice. It reflects our awareness, our values, and our responsibility. Over time, what we create digitally becomes a mirror — not of technology, but of us.

Data Glow is a fresh, engaging digital magazine exploring this human dimension of data in an AI-enabled age. The first AI edition brings together insight, curiosity, and visual storytelling to help make sense of how data, identity, and behaviour intersect.

Expect thoughtful, user-friendly explorations of:

  • What our data reveals about how we show up
  • The human signals embedded in everyday communication
  • AI, identity, and accountability
  • Conscious and responsible data use
  • Choosing clarity, care, and intention in a digital-first world

Less technical manual, more modern mirror — helping us see ourselves more clearly through the data we create.

✨ The first issue is on its way — and it’s going to glow.

George Advisory exists to help organisations lead with clarity, act with responsibility, and honour the human behind the data.

I wanted to share a huge thank you for her contributions to our team and the work of the EDO.
