Liz trained and qualified as a solicitor in criminal defence law. She practiced for 8 years, during which time she did all aspects of criminal defence work, from police station advice to conducting jury trials, after becoming a solicitor advocate, allowing her to practice in the crown courts. In 2010 she joined a start-up law firm where, as well as continuing with some criminal defence work, she retrained to specialise in employment law, representing clients at employment tribunals and advising individuals and businesses in relation to employment law and regulation. 

In 2014 Liz began to study a post-graduate certificate in professional services marketing at evening classes and in 2015 she stepped away from practice and joined a city law firm as client relationship manager. She completed the qualification and went on to work in business development and project management roles, completing a project management qualification in 2018 and being awarded full membership status of the Association for Project Management in 2021.
