Member Bio
Elizabeth Cornacchio joined the firm in 1984 and became a partner in 1989. She represents individuals, institutions and corporate clients in professional liability, general negligence and commercial matters.

Ms. Cornacchio serves as trial counsel for defendants in both federal and state court from the earliest stages of litigation to final resolution, whether via negotiated settlement or verdict. Ms. Cornacchio has been trying cases since 1987 and has tried to verdict many of the firm's high exposure cases involving complex medical issues, with a success rate in excess of 80 percent. In addition, she has also been successful in limiting damages on cases where the exposure outstripped the actual verdict or negotiated settlement. She has tried multiple brain damaged baby and maternal death cases, stemming from obstetrical care, and is well known to the New York and Connecticut benches.
Ms. Cornacchio is also the administrative partner supervising the range of services provided by the firm to a major national university and health center located in New York, and is a member of the firm's Executive Committee.

Ms. Cornacchio is a member of the Federation of Defense and Corporation Counsel, the American Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, the Defense Research Institute, and the Connecticut Defense Lawyers Association. She belongs to the Connecticut Society of Hospital Risk Managers and has lectured in many settings for bar groups. She teaches annually at the Hofstra University Law School NITA program on trial practice. She has been voted to join the ranks of "Best Lawyers in America" and "Super Lawyers."
