AAA Western and Central New York has announced the hiring of Elizabeth (Liz) Bove as corporate counsel.
Bove, who will work from AAA’s headquarters in Amherst (suburban Buffalo), will represent AAA on all legal matters and provide legal counsel to the organization.
She most recently worked as a senior associate at Phillips Lytle LLP in Buffalo, AAA said.
Her background also includes experience as an associate attorney with a private law firm and as an appellate law clerk with the U.S. Department of Justice.
Bove acquired the Certified Information Privacy Professional for the U.S. Private Sector (CIPP/US) designation by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). The certification is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
A graduate of the University at Buffalo’s School of Law, Bove sees this role with AAA Western and Central New York as a chance to transition from litigation to a corporate counsel role.
“I see this as a new opportunity to be involved with a wonderful and prevalent organization and fulfill my calling to help people,” Bove said.
In her new role, Bove will draft and negotiate contracts and offer counsel on a variety of legal matters, including company policies, governance, and regulatory issues.
“I love to problem solve,” she added. “I look forward to providing counsel to the different business lines and helping them work through issues. I’m excited to help AAA work efficiently and effectively.”
A Buffalo native, Bove grew up in communities south of the Buffalo metro area (referred to in Western New York as the Southtowns) and now resides in Orchard Park with her husband, Aaron, and 16-month-old son, Griffin.
In her spare time, Bove enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with her family and friends, AAA said.
