Ariana E. Bernard

Ariana assists with overall case strategy, including the design and coordination of offensive and defensive discovery tactics, motion practice, depositions, and alternative dispute resolution. Her practice includes a focus on employment litigation, defending employers in a wide variety of employment cases, including  FLSA collective actions and wage and hour class actions. She also is part of a Tucker Ellis team of attorneys that serves as national counsel in motor vehicle accident and premises liability litigation for two Fortune 300 companies.

During college, Ariana honed her communications skills as station manager for The Ohio State University’s Lantern TV. In interviewing high-profile personnel, covering major news events – including the 2016 Presidential Election – and producing daily and weekly television shows, she learned to manage tight deadlines, prioritize competing assignments, communicate and collaborate under pressure, and effectively speak to the public. She brings these important skills to her practice today, working efficiently and with determination to deliver her best work in every engagement.

In her free time, Ariana enjoys cheering on Cleveland/Ohio State sports teams, investigating the best food spots, and staying active with her corgi, Rambo.
