About Liza Greenspun
Liza Greenspun Yang graduated from Wake Forest University with a B.A. in 2008 before earning her J.D. from George Mason University School of Law in 2020. Her educational path combined a liberal arts undergraduate degree with a law school curriculum shaped by contemporary practice. Those years provided the foundation for a practice that spans two Mid-Atlantic jurisdictions.
After law school, Yang took the steps necessary to practice in the region and is licensed in both Maryland and Virginia. That dual admission allows her to handle matters that cross state lines and to advise clients on state-specific rules and procedures. Colleagues describe her as methodical in approach; she pays attention to procedural detail and to the ways jurisdictional differences affect legal strategy.
Yang practices at Greenspun Shapiro PC. The firm environment places her among attorneys handling civil matters and client counseling across a range of subjects. At the firm she works on matters that require coordination between state courts, administrative bodies, and private parties. Her training at George Mason informed how she approaches litigation timelines, discovery obligations, and alternative dispute resolution options.
Her early career reflects a mix of courtroom exposure and transactional work. She gained experience drafting pleadings, preparing motions, and conducting legal research. She also participated in client meetings and contract negotiations. Those opportunities helped her develop procedural fluency and a practical sense for weighing legal risks against client objectives.
Outside of casework, Yang maintains memberships in professional organizations. She uses those connections to stay current on changes in state law and procedural rules. Continuing legal education has been part of how she adapts to evolving standards, particularly in areas where Maryland and Virginia diverge on practice or substantive law.
Peers say Yang combines careful preparation with straightforward communication. She aims to present options clearly so clients can decide how to proceed. Her work reflects an attention to detail, an interest in procedural strategy, and a willingness to manage the often-complex logistics of cross-jurisdictional matters.
Her current practice centers on advising clients on matters governed by Maryland and Virginia law.
