About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lippy earned her J.D. from Temple University in 2000. She entered the legal field at the start of the new century and built a practice grounded in Pennsylvania law. Her academic background provided a foundation in trial skills and legal writing, tools she has used throughout a career spent practicing in the state.
Lippy moved from associate roles into firm leadership over the first decade of her career. In 2009 she became owner and partner at Fairlie & Lippy, P.C. That transition put her in charge of both casework and the day-to-day decisions that shape a small law firm's direction. Colleagues describe her as steady in managing clients and staff, and pragmatic when it comes to the business side of running a practice.
Across her years in practice, Lippy has accumulated experience in courtroom procedures, negotiations and client counseling. She has represented individuals and entities in matters that required practical legal solutions rather than headline-grabbing litigation. She prioritizes clear communication, helping clients understand options and likely outcomes. That approach aims to keep cases moving and to reduce uncertainty for people facing legal problems.
Lippy holds current membership in the Pennsylvania State Bar. She keeps active in the bar as a way to stay informed about changes in state rules and emerging court decisions. Maintaining that professional connection also gives her access to resources and a network of peers that she consults when a case raises unusual questions.
Since establishing Fairlie & Lippy, P.C., she has overseen the firm’s development and client intake, balancing the responsibilities of ownership with hands-on legal work. Her role requires frequent evaluation of case strategy, staffing and client priorities. She has experience guiding matters from initial consultation to resolution and coordinating outside professionals when a file requires additional expertise.
Clients who come to Lippy can expect direct answers and a steady point of contact through the life of a case. She frames legal issues in practical terms and works to align legal options with a client’s goals. Her current practice focuses on serving clients in Pennsylvania through her work at Fairlie & Lippy, P.C.
