About Us
Mara Geronemus
Mara Geronemus is a corporate attorney and co-founder of All Before Dinner. She serves as outside in-house counsel to support companies with all aspects of daily business operations. Her practice is focused on general corporate advice, commercial contracts and business transactions.
As a solo practitioner, Mara found herself missing the professional and networking benefits that come with traditional law firm life. She and Lisa joined forces to create All Before Dinner - a community of like-minded, professional women, committed to personal and professional development and to supporting other working moms.
In her community, Mara serves as the Immediate Past Chair of the Board of Lehrman Community Day School and a Vice Chair of the Board of the Miami Beach JCC. She is also involved with the Women’s Philanthropy division of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. Mara received her J.D. from New York University School of Law and her B.A., magna cum laude, from Duke University. Originally from New York, Mara lives in Miami Beach with her husband and children. When she’s not working and parenting, Mara enjoys reading, pilates, cooking, and playing mah jongg and canasta with friends.
Lisa Jerles
Lisa Jerles is a commercial litigator and co-founder of All Before Dinner. In her litigation practice, Lisa focuses on complex business disputes and litigation strategy at a boutique law firm - Kluger, Kaplan, Silverman, Katzen & Levine, P.L. in Miami, Florida. In November 2019, Lisa and Mara Geronemus, a corporate and transactional attorney, co-founded All Before Dinner in response to their frustration with traditional networking models. All Before Dinner was born out of a desire to provide personal and professional development opportunities and a robust network of working mothers committed to referring business to other women.
A Miami native, Lisa is very active in her community. She is currently the president of Hillel at Florida International University and serves on the boards of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and NCJW Miami. In her free time, Lisa enjoys cooking, cycling and spending time with family and friends.
