Elizabeth V. LaFollette draws on more than 25 years of management-side labor and employment law experience and is committed to delivering efficient, practical solutions for clients. Liz is a trusted advisor to employers, providing clear, pragmatic guidance on a broad range of legal issues, including complex accommodation and leave matters and performance-management challenges.
As Secondment Counsel, Liz supports clients as interim in-house employment counsel. She becomes an integrated member of the client’s employment legal team and works closely with human resources, operations, and legal stakeholders to provide day-to-day guidance. Her responsibilities include responding to regulatory agencies and attorney demands, advising on compliance strategies and workplace investigations, and managing outside counsel and litigation. Liz approaches legal projects with a practical, engaged mindset and leverages Littler’s technology tools to deliver timely, effective legal advice.
Before serving as Secondment Counsel, Liz was a member of the Littler onDemand team, where she served as a primary point of contact for clients, ensuring their workplace legal questions were promptly and thoroughly addressed. In addition to providing practical and actionable legal advice, she collaborated with many Littler attorneys and leveraged Littler’s technology-driven tools to access client information efficiently and support the delivery of high-quality guidance through the onDemand platform.
Earlier in her tenure with Littler, Liz served as Littler CaseSmart Counsel and Team Lead, managing hundreds of federal and state administrative charges for national employers and developing deep experience with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s enforcement priorities, procedures, and practices.
Before joining Littler, Liz litigated a wide range of labor and employment and business law matters for private and public employers—including jury trials, bench trials, and appeals—in addition to her long-standing work helping employers prevent litigation.
Liz has also led employment law training sessions and delivered numerous employment law presentations to clients and professional and trade association groups.
