News

Elizabeth C. Solander focuses her practice on sensitive and complex commercial and regulatory litigation and investigations. She represents clients in enforcement investigations and proceedings brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice, as well as in securities class actions, shareholder derivative suits, and internal corporate investigations.

As part of her arbitration practice, she has represented private and government clients, including the Government of Canada in its entirely successful defense of two arbitrations against the United States under the Softwood Lumber Agreement of 2006.

Elizabeth also has a deep commitment to providing pro bono legal services. She has worked on several pro bono matters, including, most recently, representing a petitioner in a case before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

She is a member of the firm’s Personnel and Recruitment Committees, and serves as the associate assignment coordinator for the Washington, D.C. office.
