Elizabeth Roff joined Arthur, Chapman, Kettering, Smetak & Pikala, P.A. in 2008 as an associate and practices in the area of insurance defense litigation, specifically disputes falling under commercial general liability insurance policies.

Elizabeth began her career at Arthur Chapman in 2006 as a law clerk. While clerking with the firm, she worked with Ted Smetak to co-author "Additional Insured Issues and Practice," an article focusing on the implications of additional insured endorsements in commercial general liability insurance policies. The article was incorporated into the fourth edition of the firm's Construction Law Desk Book.

Elizabeth also co-authored and edited Minnesota Commercial General Liability Policy: Annotated, a desk book analyzing Minnesota's interpretation of the Commercial General Liability Policy.

While away from the office, Elizabeth spends a considerable amount of time working as a volunteer. She currently volunteers at WATCH, an organization dedicated to making "the justice system more effective and responsive in handling cases of violence, particularly against women and children, and creating a more informed and involved public." Elizabeth has also recently been accepted as and will begin training to become a guardian ad litem, a court-appointed advocate who represents the best interests of a child who has been removed from his or her home as a result of abuse or neglect.
