Miles & Stockbridge is pleased to announce that Elisabeth K. Hall has been named co-leader of the firm’s Labor, Employment, Benefits & Immigration Practice Group. Hall joins Stephanie K. Baron, managing principal of the firm’s Baltimore office, succeeding  Kirsten M. Eriksson, who served in the role for 17 years and whose leadership drove significant growth and client success. Eriksson will continue her practice as a highly skilled labor and employment lawyer.

“Beth helps her clients every day navigate an employment landscape that is quickly evolving – new regulations, shifting workforce dynamics and increasing complexity across state and local jurisdictions,” said Scott R. Wilson, the firm’s Chairman, President and CEO. “I know she will bring the same energy and enthusiasm as a leader with the labor and employment group. She is well-positioned to help the practice grow and evolve to meet clients’ needs.”

“I’ve learned so much from Kristy and Stephanie and am honored to continue building on the group’s culture of collaboration and client commitment that has shaped my career,” said Hall. “The breadth of our team – from HR counseling to traditional labor to employee benefits and immigration to workplace safety – allows us to handle all our clients’ needs under one roof. But what really sets us apart is that we’re not just answering legal questions. We are embedded in our clients’ operations, helping them build practical strategies that align with their business goals.”
