Elizabeth Barras
Recruiting ConsultantElizabeth began her career at some of the largest law firms in the world before moving in-house, where she now serves as Senior Corporate Counsel. While the in-house path was the right one for her, she knows that Big Law and boutique firms can offer exceptional careers for lawyers who want to build their future in private practice. The key is finding the right fit because there is no one-size-fits-all law firm or career path.
A true people person, Elizabeth enjoys connecting with lawyers, understanding what matters most to them, and helping them identify opportunities that align with their goals, priorities, and long-term ambitions. Her experiences help make her an exceptional career advisor to other lawyers, and that's the Ascent Counsel ethos. We are not headhunters. We are not typical recruiters. We are accomplished lawyers advising other lawyers in their career journeys.
