Liz Soltan is an associate at Whistleblower Partners. Her practice focuses on financial fraud, anti-money laundering, and sanctions evasion cases.
As a Skadden Fellow at Community Legal Services of Philadelphia, Liz was part of a team representing Pennsylvania food stamp recipients in a case that resulted in the payment of $712 million in emergency food stamp benefits to 650,000 households during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Liz graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School, where she was a student attorney and Wage and Hour Practice Group leader at the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. As a law student, she successfully briefed and argued a workers' rights case before the Supreme Judicial Court, the highest state court in Massachusetts. Liz completed her undergraduate education at Cornell University, graduating summa cum laude with a major in History and minor in Spanish.
Before law school, Liz taught English in Malaysia and worked as a paralegal at a legal nonprofit in Philadelphia.
Liz loves living in Brooklyn but will always be a Philadelphian at heart. She enjoys her fiction-only book club, visiting ruins, and hanging out with her husband, son, and their two cats, Alex Trebek and Vanna White.
