Izabel Yurovskiy, Associate, joined Ernstrom & Dreste with significant and varied legal practice experience and proven skills important to the dispute resolution, advocacy and legal counseling that our construction and surety clients value. Her practice now involves all aspects of construction and surety claim evaluation and management, strategy assessment, alternative dispute resolution, all phases of litigation (including pleadings, discovery, motion practice and trial preparation), and appeal.

Izabel’s earlier professional practice involved contract review, insurance analysis and complex litigation, case management, court hearings, alternative dispute resolution, legal research and writing, discovery, motions and appeals. Her substantive areas of practice included commercial contracts and business disputes, leases, labor and employment law, data privacy, personal injury, wrongful death, Social Security claims and family law.

Izabel earned her law degree at Syracuse University College of Law in 2021 where she was active in the Advocacy Honor Society, Arbitration Division, and the Jewish Law Students Association.  She was selected as a student attorney in the law school’s Criminal Defense Clinic, directly managing client representation and advocacy, including in court.  She obtained her undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Rochester in 2017.
