Elizabeth Wohl
Chief Legal Officer and Vice President of Outpatient Services
Elizabeth Wohl became Brattleboro Retreat’s General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer in January, 2017. In 2025 she became Chief Legal Officer, and in July of 2026 she took on leadership of the outpatient services. She has practiced law in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Masschusetts for more than two decades, specializing in health care and mental health law for more than 15 years. Before joining the Retreat, she was a partner at a prominent New England law firm where she chaired the firm’s health law practice group and provided advice to hospitals, health systems, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and designated agencies. Her experience in private practice has given Elizabeth the ability to understand health care from numerous angles. She particularly appreciates working with the various stakeholders committed to providing high-quality mental health care for Vermonters.
Along with several colleagues in the Windham County Bar Association, she founded the Windham County Legal Assistance Program in 2011, which continues to provide free and reduced fee legal services to low-income Vermonters with legal needs outside those provided by Vermont Legal Aid.
Elizabeth holds a Juris Doctorate from Vermont Law School and a B.A. from Connecticut College where she majored in English Literature and Government and concentrated in vocal performance.
