As former in-house counsel, Liz understand how to drive business needs.  Her ability to translate complex legal issues into plain English and to flex communication styles are also important ways in which she adds value.

Liz Martini is Of Counsel with Bricker Graydon Wyatt and spends much of her day helping insurance companies and businesses navigate regulatory, corporate, and transactional challenges. Having worked in both private practice and senior in-house legal roles, she brings a practical, well-rounded perspective to the legal and business issues her clients face.

Liz enjoys rolling up her sleeves to solve complex problems, making complicated issues easier to understand, and helping clients move forward with confidence. She takes a collaborative approach to problem-solving and values working closely with clients and colleagues to find practical solutions. In fact, one of the compliments she appreciates most is being told she's easy to work with. She believes the best legal advice is strategic, practical, and grounded in an understanding of what clients are really trying to accomplish.

Liz and her husband are proud to call the Cincinnati area home, where their three adult children, along with their dog and cat, all live. Staying connected with her family is a big part of what keeps her grounded and grateful.
