Liz Cunningham
Liz Cunningham is a smart, talented woman of many accomplishments, not the least of which is that she somehow has remained married to another firm partner (who shall remain nameless, Ross) for nine years.
Kidding aside, Liz is very serious about her approach to law and, most of all, the clients whom she represents. Just ask some of those companies that have found themselves opposing her in legal proceedings.
