About Elizabeth A.
Elizabeth A. Lahey built the foundation of her legal career in New Hampshire. She earned her J.D. from the University of New Hampshire School of Law after completing a B.A. at Keene State College.

Outside the firm she is active in the state’s legal and civic networks. She maintains membership in the New Hampshire Bar Association. She also serves on the boards of Reaching Higher New Hampshire and 603 Legal Aid. Those board roles keep her connected to community needs and to efforts that expand access to legal and educational resources.
Lahey is also involved in health equity and race work through the New Hampshire Endowment for Health, where she participates on the Race and Equity Series Advisory Council. That involvement is part of a broader pattern of legal professionals who combine practice with community engagement.
