In addition to her law practice, she currently serves as an emerging technology advisor with The Cantellus Group, an attorney and researcher with The Artificial Inventor Project, and as a policy advisor in blockchain/web3 for the XR Safety Initiative.
With over 10 years of legal practice experience, her law office has served clients since 2015 in contracts, health law, intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory compliance, negotiation of restrictive covenants, estate planning, asset protection through trust formation, civil litigation, and non-profit. Her interest in blockchain began in 2017 with cryptocurrency and has evolved into a passion for advising and investing in the web3 space. In 2020, she completed certifications as a Blockchain Solutions Architect and Entry-Level Python Coder. In 2022, she completed a certificate program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Artificial Intelligence: Implications on Business Strategy. As a curator of digital art, including AI art, at galleries and in virtual spaces she has taken a particular interest in the fate of works generated by AI under United States copyright law. Through her work with the XR Safety Initiative (XRSI), a Standards Developing Organization (SDO) focused on creating privacy and safety standards in emerging digital worlds, including augmented and virtual reality, she is a member of the Metaverse Standards Forum, assisted with the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) amendments on emerging technologies, and is an observer in the working group on Digital Assets and Private Law with the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT). A substantial focus of her early law practice had been on healthcare contracts. In 2019 she published a book, The Missing Module, to teach physicians some of the concepts in employment contracts that are not taught during medical training. She lectures frequently to residents and fellows at USC, UCLA, Cedars-Sinai, and Kaiser about the importance of negotiating employment and contractor agreements before signing. She maintains her contract practice assisting physicians at all stages of their careers. Elizabeth obtained her law degree from Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, OR. Her focus was in business and health law, and she was recognized at graduation as an outstanding clinical advocate for her work serving low-income individuals. Elizabeth has experience working in the non-profit sector, having worked for the Community Development Law Center in Portland and in Development for UCLA in Los Angeles. She also has a background in the healing arts prior to attending law school. |
