Miles & Stockbridge is pleased to announce that Elisabeth Koloup Hall, a labor and employment lawyer and litigator with the firm, has been named to The Daily Record’s “VIP” List, which recognizes Maryland leaders 40 years of age and younger for their professional accomplishments, community service and commitment to inspiring change.

An associate in the Labor, Employment, Benefits & Immigration Practice Group of Miles & Stockbridge, Hall represents and counsels employers and businesses on all aspects of labor, employment and fair housing law, including wage and hour issues, discrimination and harassment, reasonable accommodations, layoffs and furloughs, family medical leave and fair housing and public accommodation requirements. During the last six months, Hall has continued this work under the umbrella of COVID-19.

“Beth is known for her responsive and caring approach with clients—qualities that are always valued, but ones that take on new meaning right now,” said Nancy Greene, chairman of Miles & Stockbridge. “Beth has expertly shifted gears to apply her knowledge, skills and practice experience as a labor and employment lawyer in the circumstances of the pandemic to help her clients adapt to the new landscape and also plan for the return of employees to the workplace.”

Specifically, Hall advises clients on the ever-changing requirements for employers pursuant to federal, state and local COVID-19 legislation, and guidelines issued by the CDC, EEOC, OSHA and other public health entities governing, among other topics, reasonable accommodations, employee health screenings, privacy concerns, social distancing and the use of personal protective equipment, administrative controls, and other workplace safety protocols.

Hall co-founded Rising Strength, an organization promoting health, safety and public service to empower women to find strength in adversity, with her longtime friend and club soccer teammate, Rachel Mangold, in 2014. In furtherance of its mission to promote self-defense and safety, Rising Strength offers free self-defense and situational awareness classes to businesses, schools, and interested individuals in Maryland and other states throughout the country.

Hall also volunteers for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Maryland with her fellow practice group members, serves meals with Our Daily Bread’s hot meals program, volunteers at My Sister’s Place Women’s Center in Baltimore and has been involved in Junior Achievement events. Beth has also been very active in the Maryland State Bar Association.

Hall was a Division I two sport Scholar Athlete at the University of Notre Dame, where she played on the Women’s Varsity Lacrosse and Soccer Teams and was awarded the Knute Rockne Scholar-Athlete Award for exceptional academic performance in 2009—experience that helped shape who she is and how she approaches her work. Today, she is an active member of the Notre Dame Monogram Club and Notre Dame Alumni Club of Maryland.
