Elizabeth is frequently appointed by courts to lead major complex cases.  Recently, she was appointed to serve as Interim Class Counsel in the In Re Google RTB Consumer Privacy Litigation, a class action on behalf of U.S. Google account holders whose personal information is shared and sold by Google to thousands of companies through Google’s Real-Time Bidding (“RTB”) system.  Elizabeth also was appointed to serve as Liaison Counsel for the Consumer Class in the In re Google Play Store Antitrust Litigation, an antitrust action accusing Google of unlawfully limiting competition by forcing Android users to use the Google Play app store and levying a supra-competitive fee on app store purchases.  

As the partner leading up the firm’s antitrust practice, Elizabeth has held lead positions in several complex antitrust class actions. These include her appointment to serve as Co-Lead Counsel in the In Re EpiPen (Epinephrine Injection, USP) Marketing, Sales Practices and Antitrust Litigation, a nationwide multi-state antitrust class action alleging that Mylan NV and Pfizer, Inc., the seller and manufacturer of the life-saving EpiPen, engaged in an unlawful scheme to sharply increase the price of the device; and her service as Additional Class Counsel in In re NCAA Grant-in-Aid Cap Antitrust Litigation, in which a trial verdict on behalf of a nationwide class of college athletes challenging NCAA-imposed caps on athletic scholarships was upheld by both the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court. 

In other antitrust matters, Elizabeth was appointed to serve as Class Counsel in Il Fornaio (America) Corporation v. Lazzari Fuel Company, LLC;  as Co-Lead Class Counsel in  Al’s Discount Plumbing, LLC et al., v.

Currently, Elizabeth serves on the leadership and trial team the In re Packaged Seafood Products Antitrust Litigation, a certified antitrust class action on behalf of consumers harmed by price-fixing cartelists in the packaged tuna industry.  She also serves on the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee in the In Re Aqueous Film-Forming Foams Products Liability Litigation, a national multi-district litigation focused on environmental and water contamination stemming from PFAS chemicals in Class B foams, and personal injury cases involving exposure to PFAS chemicals in Class B firefighting foams and firefighter protective clothing.

Elizabeth is an experienced and successful trial attorney.  As a recent example, in addition to her work in the NCAA trial, she and law firm partner Jonathan Levine obtained a $9.2 million federal jury trial verdict for a German-based tech start-up in ITyX AG v. Kodak Alaris, Inc, No. 16-cv-10250-ADB (D. MA), that has been upheld by the First Circuit.
