Overview

Allison counsels and defends clients across a broad range of employment law challenges.

Based in California, Allison concentrates her practice on employment litigation and counseling, assisting clients in virtually all areas related to labor and employment.

Clients turn to Allison to devise and implement litigation strategy for a wide range of cases, including single-plaintiff discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination claims; wage and hour class actions; Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) cases; ADA-accessibility claims; and premises liability. She is a passionate advocate for her clients in court and also skilled at negotiating settlements when in her clients’ best interest. In addition to developing broad strategy to guide clients, Allison digs in at the tactical level as well, regularly drafting and arguing motions and deposing plaintiffs and third-party witnesses.

Allison’s counseling practice covers broad aspects of day-to-day corporate policy as well as potential crisis-related events. She frequently collaborates with in-house legal teams and human resources professionals to develop or revise employee handbooks and various employer policies, including but not limited to arbitration agreements, leave of absence policies, timekeeping policies, and meal and rest break waivers. Given the complexity of California labor and employment law, Allison is also a resource for clients on a nationwide basis that operate in California.
