“notably experienced in evidence, disclosure and trial preparation”
Elizabeth has acted on a broad range of disputes. She often works closely with Charles Fussell on the firm’s biggest and most high-profile cases, and in addition runs a number of further cases herself. She was promoted to of counsel in 2023.
Most recently, Elizabeth has been heavily involved in working on a suite of complex international cases based on allegations made against an individual arising out of his position as a partner in an international law firm. Simultaneously, she has also been working on a number of other litigation matters, including a $480 million fraud case and a $270 million competition case against Microsoft.
Elizabeth has experience in a wide range of commercial litigation and arbitration matters, from unfair prejudice petitions to mining disputes to cross-border contractual disputes. Her particular forte is dealing with cases arising from a complicated factual matrix, and she particularly enjoys working for individuals who have a highly personal interest in their cases. Accordingly, she often works for clients on multiple cases, with her clients choosing to re-engage her on different matters over a number of years.
