Elizabeth A. Adekunle concentrates her practice on the defense of a wide variety of workers’ compensation matters, counseling and representing clients including multinational hospitality enterprises, retail companies, and other self-insured employers, as well as insurers and third-party administrators. She handles her cases from inception through completion, and has extensive experience representing clients at trial, motion hearings, pre-trial conferences and settlement conferences.
